Universal Pictures will be holding a free advanced screening for Olatunde Osunsanmi’s Fourth Kind this Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Century Theatres Evanston.
At first glance, The Fourth Kind may seem like another typical alien movie, but Osunsanmi’s story deals with a different kind of extraterrestrial encounter. According to the scale of measurement established for alien encounters, the first kind is a UFO sighting, the second is physical evidence, the third is established contact and the fourth kind — the most difficult to document — is abductions.
Set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, The Fourth Kind follows psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) as she deals with residents who have been the victims of a disproportionate number of abductions. With archival footage woven seamlessly throughout the film, the audience begins to see disturbing similarities among the multiple accounts of alien encounters.
The Fourth Kind will be released to the general public Friday, Nov. 6.
