You've heard about close encounters of the third kind, of course, the extraterrestrial meetings that involve contact, presumably of a benign nature. The fourth kind involves a more invasive sort of contact: alien abduction, possibly including those uncomfortable probes about which the true UFO believers are always so nervous.

The Fourth Kind aims to capitalize on that fear, but while there are some genuinely creepy moments, it never truly ends up as more than an average X-Files episode, only without Mulder and Scully, their nerd-chic hotness and their crackling unresolved sexual tension (who cared about alien takeover when those two were stalking around in their designer trenchcoats).
