6. Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County
Perhaps the most obscure entry on this list, the 1998 made-for-TV movie Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County legitimately has some of the most unsettling sequences in any alien abduction flick. Debuting on UPN (!!) in 1998, this pic focuses on a family’s Thanksgiving dinner that gets interrupted by an extraterrestrial presence outside, with the whole thing being recorded on a VHS camera. While the performances are grating and full of repetitive hollering, writer/director Dean Alioto masterfully utilizes his super-limited budget and lack of special effects to create moments where viewers start to question their sanity right along with the characters on screen. Because it predated The Blair Witch Project by a year, combined with inter-cut footage of cops and others talking about the tape, some viewers were bamboozled and thought everything was real. War of the Worlds this isn’t, but it’s a damned good time nonetheless.
