There is some controversy as people in the Ufo community feel the movie is not based on real events as claimed and is simply marketing hype for another "blair witch project". I feel that if this is the case then people are being misled and the movie is not beneficial for Ufology.
Dr. Abigail Tyler is meant to be based on a real psychiatrist in Nome - a remote village in Alaska . She interviews numerous people who have been abducted in the area . The 'real case studies' which are video taped are meant to be the basis for the movie. Apparently however Dr. Abigail Tyler is not known in Nome and there are sparse ufo reports or abductions in Alaska in general.
(i've searched the internet - read this article - yes there is the missing cases article but that's it - there's no history of Ufo events in the area.
Nome however is a real place in Alaska :
Would like your thoughts on this and your comments if you have seen the movie yourself.

Movie review:
The movie is based on a true story that happened over in Alaska,back in the fall of 2000.It starred Milla Jovovich as Doctor Abbey Tyler who claims that she recalls her husband’s murder as an abduction and stabbing.
She did studies on other people in the same town who say they experienced strange phenomena or abductions.She used hypnosis on them.
What’s so interesting, is all this footage is captured live on tape,and they used the actual footage side by side in various scenes of the film.
The results of these studies often ended tragically and ended up getting Abby in trouble with the law,since these what appear to be, supernatural murders and physical damage to be people were hard to prove because the video tape would go all fuzzy when it happened.
However, you could catch glimpses of what appeared to be,people being possessed,in between the fuzziness. One man was levitated off his bed. Abby,herself,also got levitated off the couch.

i seen the move last night i was shocked because if it was not alians it was the mother who killed her little girl,
This movie is not as bad as most reviewers would have you believe. It shows some real style and craft, but it is in no way based on real events. Nothing wrong with fiction, of course. But the problem for me was the presentation of the abductions as some sort of demonic posession by Sumerian "gods" or something. So, yet again another failure to really address the genuine phenomenon on film. Still, I did jump twice. That worked out to $5.25 per scare. I've had worse.
The movie has to do with evil extraterrestrials ....
There's no way I would go to Alaska !! The one guy who went under hypnosis levitated and never was able to walk again, because of a broken back.. I was stunned, when watching the original video clips.. The extraterrestrials used in ancient language that's been dead for over 5000 years.. They said they were god !!!!
Think "Blair witch project" . It's all BS! The only people that go missing here in Alaska are inept tourists and DRUNKS!! It is fiction disguised as fact.
not everything based on real events is prtrayed exactly as it happened...
eg. titanic.
all they need to say it's based on tru story is names, in this case the 2 patients who go to see the doctor for therapy. from there they can do what they want.
I am looking for my video references to thier cases but i hae hundreds of hours to look at to pin point it ><
We have to remember that there were 300+ FBI that went there after the events claimed by the movie. This leads me to the conclusion of the classic, " You didn't see or hear anything or we'll kill you." bit. The audience was told from the start that the names in the movie were changed. It is possible that the footage was reinacted as well. Think about it, the lady had money with her career, but couldn't buy a decent camera in the year 2000 with a nice digital picture? I am not talkin about when the picture went crazy during the filming of abduction or possesion. I would be very upset if this movie was bs!
I watched the movie and thought it was fantastic can anyone tell me if there is a book based on these events?
We went to se this film yesterday, and although I had an idea what it was about, my partner didn't-I didn't outline it beforehand.
Afterwards she said it was intriguing, I thought it was a bit disturbing.. came home, naturally googled to see if there was any background to the original story. It seems that 'Abigail Tyler' has a web site (minus home page!) but only refers to study of dreams..Plus it was only set up in August this year--viral?
Although I believe the whole lot is fiction, would this suggest that the actors who played the 'real' characters are equity members and therefore will have some acknowledgement somewhere? Unless of course, they're just people they dragged off the street to play it?
Does it put ufology into disrepute? Only if you think that Star Trek does, or Independence day does.. It is when all said and done, a film, and whatever the hype might suggest, ALL films are made for one purpose and one purpose only--to make money! Good yarn, but not to be taken too seriously.
What I find most interesting is people who are searching for Abigail Tyler and her practice in Alaska,those who saw the film,should remember that the real names of the participants in the study have been changed to protect their idenity.I' don't necessarily subscribe the notion that there are aliens out to play mind games with us,however,I don't necessarily believe that we are alone in the universe.In any case if someone is out to do research to debunk the film,they have to dig a little deeper than researching abbey Tyler,as being real or not,especially since the film notes this at the beginning.If anyone is interested in it further,there is something called the disclosure project which is allegedly credible people who have worked in government and have encounters of all seven kinds.
yeah i watched it the other day, seems real enough but the alien recording is from an earthly language, it states that its god and the camera is all over the place in the "posess" scenes,
seems real but it could be bullshit tho dr tyler looks fucked up in the real interview tbh...
aww yeah and if there are evil aliens etc, could be related to satan and all, but like the alien saying "I AM GOD", could just be posessed by the devil and shit
i seem the film last night and a pure shit me sel dnt know if it is real but got the efect it wanted of me lyk! im only 21 and im a bit of aperty animal and if ya seen is you wudnt think somethimg straing happend to me be4. wen i was 6 i went in2 my mams room and it wasint me mams room it was lyk realy lite and i lookd out this massive window i and i was being took across feilds then streems then over the ocion and there was these things that was all bony coulerd piking up rocks out the warter?? thats all i can remember?? im not a loon and i dnt realy beleve in ufos lyk but it was well weird??? ither i had a mint imagination at that age or something did happen it freekd me mam out wen i told her and we moved out the house the month after so that was odd in its self?? i thort shit lyk that only happend in us not the uk in shity sunderland?
The only thing true about this movie is the name of the town and extremely likely fact that Earth is not the only planet with life on it. All that "footage" is worth about a roll of toilet paper.
Meh, I'm divided on it. Sure, there may not be any ufo cases in Alaska, but c'mon, how many people are actually going to report it/believe it or even remember it, as was the case in the movie, where the victims didn't remember aliens at all until they were hypnotized?
Then again, it baffles me how video/pictures on paranormal activities are NEVER clear footages. Why is that? We can send a man to the freakin moon but can't make a camera that can withstand any kind of interference at all.
But the voice of the alien... I'm not familiar with voice changers, can one of these devices create a voice like that?
I get a kick out of my boyfriend's brother, he's convinced the movie is real because he says the voice speaks in ancient babylonian, even more ancient than what we can interpret today. I look at him and ask him 'how do you know??? It could be worthless babble for all you know.'
Just keeping an open mind and examining all the possibilities.
The supposed 'Real' Dr. Abigail Tyler is an actress by the name of Charlotte Milchard (see: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2598903/)
it looks real...people can simply claim that im simply that gullible,but everything seems so real. no actor, even the best in the business,could not show that much of real emotion...
in response to the statement above however, from the article, stating, "Apparently however Dr. Abigail Tyler is not known in Nome and there are sparse ufo reports or abductions in Alaska in general..." i have something to critique.Of course there is no known Abigail Tyler in the Nome area, every single character in the movie's name was changed to protect the identity of the real person. It says so in the beginning. Guess somebody wasn't paying much attention. And about encounters of both the third and fourth kind happening in Alaska, of course nobody is going to say anything...government officials can easily buy people.
