The Fourth Kind (2009)
Quite scary... and mostly does its job...
I can't say I liked "The Fourth Kind" much but its idea did frighten me at first.
I'm a sci-fi fan, I've seen a lot of movies about aliens, but no movie could make me believe they exist but this one.
It is said at the beginning of the movie that it features the actual footage along with new footage (featuring actors). And if you watch "The Fourth Kind" under that impression (like in my case) then I think you'll be at least impressed, if you won't be - you're some kind of an alien or someone who's seen aliens personally.
After watching the movie I've read some information about it and the impression undoubtedly changed.
It's also worth mentioning that Jovovich is good, she does her utmost to convey her character's emotions. I really like her and I was born in the same city she was born in, but, anyway, how can one not like her?!
The soundtrack creates the right atmosphere of fear and mystery, so I liked it too.
I also did find the surprise in the end credits pretty intriguing...and I still do.
So, overall I'd say that the "realism" of "The Fourth Kind" is somehow disappointing, but if you'd heard nothing about the movie before seeing it then you'll be impressed...and I think the truth doesn't really matter in the end if the movie does its job - makes some people believe (even if not for long).
