Alien Abduction
Written by Robert Lewis
Directed by Matty Beckerman
USA, 2014
Let me start this review by destroying my credibility: I actually like found footage horror movies. No, like’s too weak a word; I love them. I actively seek out every one of them I can find. Whenever a new one comes up on Netflix, VOD, or in the theaters, I can’t help but be a bit giddy. At least once a month, I check IMDb or other film sites for lists of the things, hoping to stumble across a new one I haven’t seen. I know this puts me in an undistinguished minority of critics, but I can’t help it; something about the way they use perspective, the way they tell their stories, the treatment of the camera as a subjective character, it just works for me, and it works with what I find frightening.

The story revolves around the Brown Mountain Lights. Strange lights have been spotted near a local North Carolina mountain range since the early 1900s. A family sees the lights, during a camping trip and a strange presence makes itself known. Now, the Morris family must face more than burnt marshmallows as aliens infiltrate the local hills. A trailer for Alien Abduction looms below. The clip shows the Morris family trapped in a tunnel by mysterious shapes. Horror fans can view the film through online platforms until July...

Matty Beckerman’s unsettling extraterrestrial thriller, Alien Abduction, will be landing on VOD and in limited theatrical release via IFC Midnight on April 4th and we had a chance to catch up with the director and discuss all things extraterrestrial.
Based around the real-life Brown Mountain Lights phenomenon down in North Carolina, a vacationing family winds up taking a much longer ride than they had planned for. Below, Beckerman himself talks in detail about the film and what inspired him to look up to the stars to find his latest inspiration.
DC: I’ve seen a lot of found footage movies, more than I care to even mention, and few of them were as effective as this one actually is. The Brown Mountain Lights are based on an actual phenomena, correct?
Mb: Oh yeah, it’s very very real. I’ve seen the lights myself and taken video of them and pictures of them.
