I always tell people that I can't stand scary or horror movies. Not because I'm scared, because they're terrible and predictable. This movie and The Mothman Prophecies are the only two movies that give me chills.

My boyfriend and I watched this for the first time a few months ago and we usually joke about the movies we watch together bc we can usually find something funny about them but we were both dead silent during the whole movie and had to just sit in silence afterwards and process it. It scared us both 😅 10/10

This movie is up there with Signs on the list of alien movies that scared the shit out of me as a kid

This movie def did some psychological damage when I was a kid. It still freaks me out to this day 😭😭😭

One of the most underrated movies in the history of alien movies. This is almost better than Signs

This remains top 5 scariest movies I’ve seen. And I’m not even afraid of aliens. This movie just did something to me

Watch this movie at my friends house when I was 25 years old. Needless to say I was up all night sitting on the couch afraid to shut my eyes until I realized it was fake two days later. This movie definitely is without a doubt number 2 on the scary list for me. Number 1 was “the exorcist” that I mistakenly wanted to watch when I was 13 years old.

This film always stays in my memory when I think of the scariest films I’ve watched, like many on here I decided to watch it alone at 3am when I was 15 😄😩 needless to say I didn’t go to sleep that night, the owl eyes always get me.

My english teacher was watching this movie, that's how I discovered it. But years later, I decided to watch it. One of the scariest movies for sure.

This movie does a good job with the screams. Like that’s how people would freak out to seeing something that shatters their reality

This movie still has my hair on end...

When that thing said I am God, I got chills through my whole body

This movie is severely underrated and is what I consider an actual 'horror' movie. Has the ability to make you sleep with the lights on or at least with a night light.

Signs, The Mothman Prophecies, and The 4th Kind. The triad of genuinely terrifying movies, little to no others can match them.

I always thought the "aliens" in this movie were actually demons. Think about it, Aliens don't lie about being something they're not such as a god, angel, benevolent spirit but demons definitely do. They are masters of deception after all. Anyways, that in mind... this scene in particular hits alot harder for me at least. It will always be one of the scariest movies I've ever seen in my teens!

I don't understand why so many people don't talk about this movie enough...how come so many people don't know ? That last scene alone is scarier than anything else ...u could imagine my reaction at the age of 13 watching this alone at night in my room which was the attic LOL 😅 I can laugh about it now but I was traumatized for weeks ..

This still terrifies me every time I see it. There really isn’t any other horror movie like it. Just utter terror

The first time I tried to watch this movie, I was maybe thirteen, and home alone, at night. The lights went out about halfway through the film.

This movie is chilling. It was out at the same time as Paranormal Activity so we got a double-dose of horror.

The scene where they take her is the hardest part to watch. Heavy Sleep paralysis vibes

5:10 - when you have the hiccups really bad

This movie scared the piss out of me when I first saw it. It still gives me the chills, even after finding out it's just a mockumentary. Because I absolutely believe in alien abduction and so even if this particular story and the characters in it aren't real, something like this has happened or will happen to someone. I can kind of relate to the thing about the owl. How the people who saw it in their dreams knew that they weren't really seeing an owl....but were seeing something so indescribably terrifying that if the aliens hadn't replaced that memory with the owl they'd go insane. On rare occasions I have these nightmares, and when I wake up from them I don't remember what I saw in the nightmare, but I remember the feeling of sheer orimal fear. It's a fear that I've never even experienced in my waking life. It's like fear on an existential basis.... it's too horrible to even be able to imagine it when I'm not actively feeling it. I always wonder what that's about. The last one I had like that I woke up screaming and out of my mind with fear. It took my fiancé AND my mom both to calm me down and then I still had to take a sedative because I couldn't even sit down I was so terrified. How can we feel something in a dream that we've never felt in our waking life? That's the question that I battle often.

Yeah, when I watched this as a kid when it came out on movie channels (I'm 25 years old now), it scared the living daylights out of me. I am now revisiting this movie, and it still scares me.

Thus, Ancient Aliens was born from the history channel, for the next 15 years.

I used this as my ringtone for years. Freaked people TF out. XD

I was on a first date with a girl and after this scene ended I leaned over and said I'm sorry I didn't know this would happen it really freaked us out.

This movie really scared the shit out of me. The scariest movie imo.

I made the mistake of watching this movie at the age of 13. Instant regret! It gave me nightmares and I was afraid to watch it or even go near it. When I found out that it wasn't real, it lessened my fear of it. But not by much, it doesn't bother me as much anymore. But, it's still unnerving. We never actually see the aliens. Only their presence is felt, their distorted voices and their shadows are seen. And the fact that they can supposedly turn into barn owls. This movie isn't that great, but it made people fear *owls!*

i saw this when i was quite young, and i watched it with my dad. i was scared shitless of looking into the sky at night and i was almost petrified whenever i heard owls. terrifying movie.

It’s 2023 and this has been living rent free in my head since this movie came out. And y’all wanna experiment with CE-5 PROTOCOL

Excellently done sci-if thriller! Loved every minute of it, very creative!

Went to see this the first times I was smoking weed, the fear was intense, definitely amplified by the weed but wow what an experience, I've never felt fear like that

I love that close up shot of her ear, really nice touch. This is a genuinely creepy AF movie, love it.

When the alien said "I AM...GOD",it instantly reminded me of Sonic.exe.

I was obsessed with this movie lol would watch it every week

I'll be honest I found this movie to be pretty boring and over-dramatic sometimes, but these alien scenes are a great concept. No experiments, just pure madness and evil coming from a crazy being that's basically god-like. Also the fatc that this thing is speaking summerian only raises more questions.

Listen, I am skeptical of everything, I never have or probably will see interdimensional/intergalactic beings. That being said, if I walk to the shed to the house at night after smoking weed at night and in the distance I see a lil' grey fella with big eyes, I will fart my soul out.

This scene where they put him to sleep is actually hilarious to me. Them people got the fck up outta there 😂

when I saw this movie for the first time I couldn't sleep for 3 days.

It was clever of them having two film sets, one was said to be real and the other remake with a well-known actress. plus, the beginning with the actress and the man responsible for making the movies making statements of the movie being based on the truth of the story (I thought they would have gotten into legal trouble saying it's a real story). There is a radio show bases on UFO's, bigfoot encounters, ghost (1120am radio). I just happen to listen to this station when the movie is the topic, the guest were real live UFO investigators. They said the man who also made the statement about the reality of the of the story and wrote the screen play, paid them a visit. Asking a lot of questions and receiving from the investigator's tons of information and then left without notice with their work, later this movie came out. P.S. during the movie when the ship came up to the house, I freaked, thinking it was real!

This was the most disturbing movie I even seen. This scene still hunts me…😰

I think what’s scary to me is the fact that realistically we live in one planet, there’s billions and billions of planets and to be honest, I can’t really 100% think that were the only ones in the entire galaxy

I was 10 years old when I saw this in theatres, I couldn't sleep for days lol

Watched this movie by myself up at my cottage in the dead of winter, no one else on the lake. Yeah wasnt exactly the best sleep I ever had that night.

CHILD NEVER RETURNED!!!! 😱😱😱

3:10 sleep paralysis vibes

I had strep throat in junior high and I stayed home sick and watched this movie. Freaked me tf out when I woke up at 3:33 that night

Whenever I show people this movie, I tell them it's a real documentary first. It's not until after the movie is over that I reveal the truth. A lot of people harp on the movie for trying to present itself as a true story, but in my opinion it's not much different than films like Blair Witch and the like. It accentuates the horror.

This is one of the best horror films ever made

Outstanding camera work..

This movie still to this day is up there with signs all time fav alien movies this signs and dark skies

I LOVED THIS MOVIE! this was my freshman year of high school haha

The distorted video trope always drove me nuts. I can’t believe I had some friends who believed the “true story” aspect of this.

One of the scariest movies I've ever seen

Every time I watch this which I literally just finished doing... Its like bravo.. Especially the 2000 footage actors!!! Abigail from 2000's the look of despair and sadness and heart brokeness In her eyes is iconic!!!

I only watched this movie once. I still have hairs on the back of my neck standing up from that time I watched it.

I watched it when I was a kid first, I was so terrified I couldn’t sleep for so long, now when I watch it I can’t help but laugh lmao, I can’t see what was so scary back in a day

I need to watch this with my horror movie loving son! It's pretty hard to freak him out, but this might do it! I think this movie is terrifying and I'm a huge horror fan and not much gets to me, but this movie definitely did!

I fear no man but that thing: *4th kind shadow presence* it scares me to this day because on how it actually triggered my fight or flight more than once in one viewing

I love horror movies but rarely do they disturb me, but this is one of the few films that creeped me out when I saw it in theaters at 25 yro.

We come in peace

I love this movie

How does one simply "Get possessed by an alien".

This movie is hard to find. Its not on amazon prime or Netflix UK.

I don’t believe people when they say this is scary. Sure it’s freaky to hear people scream but idk if I’d call it scary. Is that all this movie is?

So there are also summerian alien gods out there, who can get us anytime they want, so preastronautics is not a joke.

This scene still remains as one of the scariest scenes I have ever seen.

It's not a good idea to watch this at night.

3:17 the song Hybridization by Aversions Crown used the alien speaking as the song ended. After 4 years of wondering if the audio was legit, I can now be happy.

"Alien Comes" Camera: Time to screw this moment ouwwwwyeaaaahhhh

1:11 as a kid this sound really disturbed me and this movie did make me be frightened of Barn Owls lol and I was always scared of my ceiling as the end it took Doctor Abigail daughter through the houses roof

I remember the first time I watched this at my cousins I spent most of the night looking out the window into the sky lol

this and Fire In The Sky always scared me shitless.

I'm one of those old school movies defender, I'm one of those who think that current horror movies sucks really bad because they are so predictable, my favorite horror movie of all times is and surely will be The Exorcist, but man this movie!! First of all is different from the rest because is a Sci-Fi movie not a horror movie per se and it open our eyes to something we have never, probably, considered in the past, whenever we think of aliens we imagine those skinny white beings with big eyes, small nose who don't talk, but the universe is so goddamn big, therefore many many different types of beings out there with different ways of communicating and living and skills, imagine those who in order to talk to you needs to posses you o use you as a transmitter device, freaking scary!!

It was really stupid to see people claiming "the real footage is real" when it's obviously actress Charlotte Milchard.

I don’t claim this negative energy ✝️✝️

Jesus christ.... this scene is haunting

Though I walk to the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil ✝️👽🛸

This movies terrifying! It’s what you don’t see that scares you! I watched this in a big house alone … at night… and couldn’t sleep! LOL

I watched this movie when I was 14-15 living by myself for 9 months....sleeping problems were involved big time after watching the movie

Me in present ; They’re here. Me in future ; Always have been.

What truly bothers me about people is that subtle little thing behind us all that made us all immediately and without hesitation accept that this film was about aliens. The entity states that it is God at the end. God returning to this Earth could look something like this. Horrifying, misinterpretable, and outside of our scope of thought. Nothing prevents God from possessing shapes and ways outside what we've written about it. Yes, I do think God is an It.

This is the scariest movie for me personally because I've experienced stuff in this

literally. shrivers on my spine. every time i rewatch this film

I use to think these scenes were actually real. Man was I a gullible 16 year old

I've never known aliens to possess people but if it were a demon it would have never left. Her jaw got dislocated from it speaking through her which is also something I've never known demons to do

Wow. After 10 years, finally I could find this movies. The fouth kind I rated one of the best horror movies I ever seen as Paranomal activities 1, Skeleton key. 30/7/2023

I couldn’t sleep for months after this

I didn’t quite understand. The hypnosis sessions summoned the aliens?? Were they speaking through the subjects’ voices at first, then appeared in physical form?

they are really good at messing up the footage right? when it really matters. that's when the video distorted. funny

There are few movies that traumatize. This is one that does.

I had nightmares after watching this movie. Definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen

I feel like the last seen where the girl that is getting possessed says she’s god is VERY exaggerated. It would be a lot more scary if they showed more of the monster without the flashes or whatever.

Just woke up from a dream like this, but it was a dream inside a dream.

1:37 That zoom in was unnecessary.

I was so relieved to find out this was fake 😅 holy shit I couldn’t sleep after I saw this shit

Even study about what scientists are studying and finding in ancient sumeria all the way up to now

Well that was terrifying

Everyone is saying how scary this is but I find it kind of funny

That alien needs to drop a mixtape with uzi vert or some other lipstick wearing froot loop.
