==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: PG-13 (Violence, Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not heavily Lovecraftian on its own, though this abduction-by-ancient-alien story might contribute some ideas for [[Delta Green]] campaigns, and the ancient-alien-astronaut sci-fi/horror aspects (along with the "apocalyptic log" aspect of the "found footage" sections) are at least distantly Lovecraftian.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

===Reviews===

Review Links:
* HorrorNews dotnet, ([http://horrornews.net/11712/film-review-the-fourth-kind-2009/ link]) - "...Another strange thing is the dialog and translated Sumerian used. It suggests not only the usual alien abduction theories... [but] something even more supernatural than little green men. The translations came across more as evil, and deity-like than what we would have expected pointing to more than just alien theory...."

==Synopsis==

{{spoiler|
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.

===Comments, Trivia, Dedication===

* Not particularly Lovecraftian on its own, though this abduction-by-ancient-alien story might contribute some ideas for [[Delta Green]] campaigns; the plot need not be about aliens in the traditional sense: Machen's little people/[[Faerie]]s, Howard's [[Serpent People]], Lovecraft's [[Mi-Go]]s, or Shaver's [[Dero]]s could be involved just as easily. (You might even add in some suggestions of witchcraft or black magic being involved in the abductions, with reference to "[[Dreams in the Witch House (fiction)]]"....) Unfortunately, there really isn't much of a plot to work with for adapting the film to a conventional CoC or Delta Green scenario; a Keeper would need to do the heavy lifting of adding more RPG-friendly elements to this story.

===Associated Mythos Elements===
* Setting: [[Delta Green]]
* Race: [[Mi-Go]]s
* Race: [[Faerie]]s
* Race: [[Dero]]s
* Tome: ''[[Occult_Books#Simon_Necronomicon|Simon Necronomicon]]''
