Under the Skin is another alien abduction film with low stakes but very enjoyable. The film was written and directed by Jonathan Glazer with the assistance of Walter Campbell. It’s based on the novel of the same name written by Nick Wechsler. The story follows Scarlett Johansson, who plays an otherworldly beingpreying on unsuspecting men in Scotlan...
Circle is Saw, but with aliens, or at least that’s the best way to describe this terrific filmwritten and directed by the team of Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione.

1993’s Fire in the Sky tells the supposed true story of a man’s abduction by extraterrestrials, and his subsequent return to Earth five days later. Based on Travis Walton’s book The Walton Experience, the movie changes much of the real Walton’s account to make the story more cinematic, much to the chagrin of the author. Although Walton’s story has ...
Sure, the giant monster battles are usually the main draw to kaiju flicks, but in this one, Gamera takes a back seat to the real stars of the show: Barbella and Florbella – a pair of alien vixens with a cannibalistic appetite for human children. Gamera is one of the most iconic non-Godzilla kaijus of all time, and although he came about originally ...

The Metalunans require humanity’s help in transmuting lead into uranium to aid in their war against the ruthless Zagons. It is a classic work of pulpy science fiction, with an uncharact...
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a bonafide science fiction masterpiece. It stars Richard Dreyfuss as a blue-collar man whose encounter with a UFO changes the course of his life and leads many of his friends and family to question his sanity. Although the actual abduction doesn’t occur until late into the film, we’d be remiss not to include th...
Communion stars Christopher Walken as a novelist who is abducted by aliens while on vacation at an isolated cabin in the woods. Much like Fire in the Sky, the film is based on a book that chronicles the true story of the author’s encounter with extraterrestrials. The movie opened to negative reviews and was a box office failure, most likely due to ...
Much maligned by critics at the time of its release, 1983’s Xtro was famously described by Roger Ebert as “an ugly, mean-spirited and despairing thriller that left me thoroughly depressed.” Don’t let the negative reviews deter you, however, because this nasty tale of alien abduction has since been embraced with open arms by the cult science fiction...
