The Fourth Kind
2009, English. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi.
There are four kinds of alien encounters. The fourth kind is abduction.
Since the 1960s, a disproportionate number of the population in and around Nome, Alaska, have gone missing. Despite FBI investigations, the disappearances remain a mystery. Dr. Abigail Tyler, a psychologist, may be on the verge of blowing the unsolved cases wide open when, during the course of treating her patients, she finds evidence of alien abductions.
