Alien Abduction Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
April 30, 2025
My quick rating - 4.1/10. A bit better than your standard handi cam fare, but still suffers from the same issues. Closeup shot of crying taking way too long, constant screaming for effect, and this one has another annoyance. Trying really hard to make you think this is legit footage. That and I would love to know what video camera can fall through the Earth's atmosphere and not be destroyed, let alone keep filming. When the aliens are shown, they do a good job of being quick takes and cover up their budget. Also, the abductions look quite good as well. Still not a keeper for me, but I have seen far worse in this saturated genre.
Film Thrills
Deirdre Crimmins
Alien Abduction is a great movie. While it does have a lot going against it, you need to trust me on this one.
The Mary Sue
Carolyn Cox
The events that inspired the movie are more believable than the essential conceit of found footage. It sacrifices the story to constantly insist otherwise.
Under the Radar
Zach Hollwedel
Alien Abduction isn't done poorly, per se, but it's not at all entertaining.
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
Today's lesson is "How not to make a found footage film."
Variety
Joe Leydon
Bound to vanish as quickly as a fleetingly glimpsed UFO after a few close encounters with paying viewers.
Nerdist
Witney Seibold
Although the found-footage genre is growing increasingly stale, it can still provide some genuine - if cheap - thrills. Also, Alien Abduction hits this critic right in the nostalgia gland.
Shockya.com
Brent Simon
Eschewing more sophisticated and higher-degree-of-difficulty moodiness for lots of panicked thrashing about, this found-footage horror tale is an exercise in well-intentioned tedium.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Close encounters of the mediocre kind.

If you're going to go the found-footage route, you might as well try to find a new way to approach the material. Beckerman has.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
As on the nose as its title, Matty Beckerman's "Alien Abduction" repackages ancient legend for modern audiences in a found-footage story of streamlined efficiency.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
As the found-footage horror genre reaches the please-lose-it-again point, "Alien Abduction" arrives to remind us how tedious the camping trip set-up has become as well.
Paste Magazine
Scott Wold
As a horror flick, even one held to the impossibly low standards of the found-footage variety, Alien Abduction fails to thrill or chill.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
Alien Abduction is the same found footage movie we've seen time and time again, just this time with aliens substituted in as the main antagonistic force.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Credit this spirited, uncommonly effective found-footage thriller for breaking the templates promised by its genre and title.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
With his first published screenplay, Robert Lewis treads a familiar path, but the devil's in the details and some well handled subtext on preconceived notions.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
A few jolting scares are deployed throughout, but more difficult to shake is how the story's overacting lambs walk a rather programmatic path toward slaughter--or at least anal probing.
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
A found-footage knock-off of "The Blair Witch Project" that grows more shameless by the minute.
