Milla Jovovich stars in this intriguing and teasing sci-fi pseudo-documentary about alien abduction

Milla Jovovich stars in this intriguing and teasing sci-fi pseudo-documentary about alien abduction.

Director Olatunde Osunsanmi plays himself and he informs the audience that he has assembled case-study archive footage and dramatised re-creations of real events to investigate the story of Dr Abigail Tyler (Jovovich), an Alaskan psychologist who in 2000 found many of her patients had the same owl-staring visions at 3am.

Playing herself playing Dr Tyler, Jovovich makes a strong job of her familiar lady in peril role, and the film's well made and enterprising as long as you take its 'true-story' credentials with a pinch of salt. Will Patton and Elias Koteas help out as Jovovich's colleague and the local sheriff.
