TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

bjjnedan "Documentary,", about some old crazy person, a cameraman and his lover, friend, business partner, whatever, investigating a town that completely disappeared off the face of the planet 45 years ago. Turns out, that crazy old fraud was right.Anyways, this isn't a documentary, and anybody that thinks this is real should do the world a favor and take their own life. Anywho, this would've been a great, groundbreaking, thrilling little film if it were made in the early 90's. Now, it's just boring. There was nothing thrilling about it. I don't know. I mean, it really could have been something cool if something, anything worth half-a-sh*t happened. Nothing did. I found is humorous that this old crazy person could detect aliens among us with a toy her bought at K-Mart... My girl asked me, "Is this real? Did that really happen?" Of course I said, "Of course this is real, and that did really happen, just not in Texas. It happened in Kansas. The actual name of the town that disappeared is Chanute." Chanute is a town 20 miles away and it's still there. Knowing she knew of this town, since it's where we met, I scrambled and came up with a story about how this happened to Chanute in whatever year the movie said and Chanute was rebuilt in it's entirety in the late 70's. We were both born in 84.At first she was shocked, then she figured out I was full of sh*t. Probably because I was laughing at her when she seemed to believe me. I got a little off base. I just felt the need to tell that story. Anyways, back to this waste of time, yeah, well, um..., nothing happened. A car crashed, a guy got shot. Story over. Again, I must say, this movie really could have been very thrilling. Had the love triangle that starred in the film decided to confront one of the aliens that they detected with the Fisher Price thinger, or if there was..., well..., something that happened. It seems like the director was really trying to pass this thing off as real. The sheer logistics of making a town and all of it's inhabitants completely disappear off the face of the earth, with no one being none the wiser, even in 1953, is extremely, highly improbable. All it takes is one person moving away after graduation in '52. However, if you can suspend your common sense for however long this thing is, it's still not good because nothing happened at all. This is one of the most boring horror/sci-fi/thrillers ever made by anyone, anywhere, ever. If I were to film my Rat Terrier humping my neighbors Darth Vader lawn gnome, it'd be more thrilling, and more sci-fi, than this movie. His wife coming out on the porch in her nightgown to shoo my dog would make it more horror.

merklekranz The setup of "The Wicksboro Incident" is quite good. An old guy, supposedly an electrical engineer who in the 1950s worked on a secret government project hidden away in a bunker, in the small town of Wicksboro Texas. His story is that he is the sole survivor of a government cover-up and that Wicksboro vanished after he fled. The return to Wicksboro by the old man and two documentary filmmakers reveals that there is no evidence remaining, and the entire town, along with the clandestine project is gone. Eventually a startling discovery is made. Using divining rods they locate and uncover the old underground laboratory. It is at this point that the wheels come off, and the story degenerates into nonsense, most of it with a hand held camera at night. The first half would make an interesting episode of the History Channel's "U.F.O. Hunters", the second half will do nothing more than induce headaches. - MERK

jertea This documentary starts out odd, and seems very suspicious at first glance. It has to be watched in it's entirety from beginning to end before anyone has the right to place judgement. Fast forwarding is a sign of being narrow minded.A strong understanding of Area 51, and other related government cover-up theories makes this documentary one to watch to the end. Are they here among us? With the chaos, and very confusing times we are facing today, it is quite possible.The world is supposed to be "more highly educated" everyday, yet we are still seemingly slipping backwards at an alarming rate! Why? Jeremy

curtis martin "The Wicksboro Incident" might have been a small sensation had it been released a decade ago, before "The Blair Witch Project." Then again, maybe not. For one thing, "Wicksboro" wouldn't have existed if not for "Blair Witch," seeing as how it is a blatant rip-off--the same faux documentary homemade style, same basic story with UFO's tossed in, even some virtually identical scenes. But Wicks doesn't carry the gimmick to any kind of surprising, or even logical conclusion, and lacks the "this really happened and we found this footage buried in a hole in the ground" thing that made its predecessor so compelling. (I won't spoil the ending for you, but let's just say that where "Blair" had an eerily ambiguous ending, Wicks barely has one at all). And it doesn't help that there's only 30 or 40 minutes worth of material to fill its 90 minute length--a lot of repetition and worthless footage that any real documentarian would have edited out, further killing the illusion of reality. Maybe if you've never seen Blair, you'll like Wicks to some degree--if you have a remote with a greased fast forward button.
