Best Alien Abduction Movies Pt. 3

Alien abduction cases did not gain widespread attention until the 1960s and beyond; there were few reported or few recorded cases before the 20th century, leading many to believe that the tales of abduction are either hoaxes or hallucinations brought on by science fictions films and novels. Whatever the case, alien abduction is a popular film subject, with numerous movies and remakes being made about the idea of extraterrestrial lifeforms taking humans into their ship. Here is a list of the best alien abduction films. So when you are alone on that isolated back road and your xenon headlights suddenly go out and the sounds of train horns and birds go silent, beware...

Fire in the Sky

When released, “Fire in the Sky” was said to be the most realistic portrayal of a reported real life extraterrestrial encounter. The story is about an Arizona logger who finds himself abducted against his will. His story is met with skepticism and puts him through rigorous interviews and polygraph tests which they seem to pass. The story is less about the abduction itself and about people’s reactions to it.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

The original 1978 science fiction film is a landmark movie in the alien abduction subgenre. The story about alien beings abducting and creating replica humans from plantlike pods is one of scariest plots in all of science fiction because it builds on the fear that the ones you love and trust could be hiding sinister secrets. Itself a remake of a 1956 version, it was remade again in 2007 starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig but received pretty bad reviews and was a commercial failure. The 1978 version is noted for its great performances by Leonard Nimoy, Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum.

Taken

Technically a television series, “Taken” was produced by Steven Spielberg in 2002 and featured several directors, including Tobe Hooper, Bryan Spicer and Breck Eisner at the helm  and a revolving cast of actors in this alien abduction miniseries, mainly focuses on three different families. The series follows six decades and four generations of families and how nightmares and memories of alien abduction have haunted them and effected their lives. It is one of the great forgotten network television miniseries’ and features Dakota Fanning in a young role as a child abducted.

Star Trek's Mr. Spock does strange portraits...but does that make Leonard Nimoy a fine art photographer?

I liked his "Shekhina Project" better.

I don't think he used the full-figured models as well as he could have.
A chiaroscuro approach would have worked better and made the subjects more interesting and less exploited. As it is, it's their large size alone that carries the images in a sensationalist sort of way, it would have been nice to add depth and dimension to it with strong shadows.
