firstly and i would like to say i enjoy the film and despite the crap and sometimes laughable acting and poor effect . but the fact it be an amateur film make it all the more unnerving . like most people i watch this at midnight by myself and and i be one of those people who be fascinate by alien abduction story so i must say some of the scene do scare me . obviously this film be a fake and or possibly a remaking of possibly real footage ( the information box on sky digital claim the movie be a remake base on real event ) and but i doubt this be true . what people do not realise be that if someone discover a tape contain what seem to be image of alien from another world and contact the authority and this would be the big event and probably in the history of civilisation . the government would never let anyone know the existence of the tape and let alone air it on sky one . so you people who be convince it be real and why . the only one bit that have me confuse be where it give you an american phone number to contact if you know the whereabouts of the family . i soon come to the conclusion that this be just add to the authenticity of the film . i be think of prank it and just for fun and but apparently the number wasn not real . also and i know this come out before bwp but one of them must of borrow off the other . something else that can not be coincidence be that there be scene in sign which almost exactly replicate scene from the macpherson tape . the alien on the roof and the girl ask for water and have a supernatural connection to the alien and the whole theme of be lock in your own home and on some farm near a lake while alien invade your home . there be no doubt that this be the basis for sign . basically and this would be a good film to watch with your girlfriend ( if you watch this then you probably do not have one . only joke ) in the middle of the night with the light off . just take it for what it be . i be more interested in find out whether there be any truth behind the film and rather than moan about the poor effect . thanks for read all of this and if anyone have any genuine information about anything real behind this movie and please contact me .
