In the realm of alien abductions, some stories can get pretty wild, especially when the creatives have a vivid imagination. Fried Barry is an independent flick produced, written, and directed by Ryan Kruger. It explores the life of a drug addict named Barry, who suddenly finds his body abducted by aliens and possessed by them. After being released,...
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. The plot may seem simplistic, but the actual exploration of human nature will take hold of your senses and keep you glued to the screen until the very end. A group of 50 people wakes up sta...
Another independent film with a solid premise, Undead, is written, produced, and directed by Michael and Peter Spierig. In an Australian fishing town, meteors unleash a viral outbreak turning people into zombies. A former alien abductee named Marion shelters a group of people while acid rain begins to pour over the town. The chaotic nature of the f...
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 ...
An all-time classic of ‘50s science fiction, This Island Earth follows the abduction of two of the world’s greatest scientists by the people of the planet Metaluna. 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...

- Fire in the Sky (1993) Only a handful of films post-Fire in the Sky bothered to take the idea of alien abduction seriously; perhaps that’s a fairly inevitable side effect of the rise of a culture in which everything is on tape and newer conspiracy theories have made the UFO cults of yore seem positively quaint.
- The Vast of Night (2019) Director Andrew Patterson’s wildly confident debut takes us back to the 1950s, to a small town in New Mexico on the night of the big basketball game.
- Outsiders (2022) Director Delmar Washington’s debut is a smart thriller about a Black teenager, Jaylen (Skylan Brooks), trying to adapt to life in a small, southern, and overwhelmingly white town; if that’s not enough, he witnesses the strange disappearance of his friend Amira (Clark Backo) in a blast of white light.
- The McPherson Tape (1989) This proto-found footage horror movie might push the limits of tolerance for even the most ardent fans of the subgenre, but its technological limitations and extremely low budget lend it a sense of verisimilitude that’s frequently lacking in more polished productions—filmmaker Dean Alioto has even occasionally found himself debunking rumors the film is real after it got a fair amount of play at UFO conventions.
