The Fourth Kind

Ugh, this movie...

 

The film about alien abductions where you really don't get to see any aliens at all. There is an owl though.

 

There is also a very ill-advised tactic used to create a sense of realism by claiming that some of the footage in the movie is actual video of strange things happening during psychiatry sessions. Obviously none of it is real, thus you realize you're watching a split screen where on one side you're seeing a group of actors act out a scene, while on the other side of the screen you're seeing...a group of actors act out a scene, just on lower quality video that gets all scrambled whenever something interesting starts to happen. It doesn't work, none of it works, and I don't know why they made it this way or even why they made it at all.

 

Maybe it's not quite bonkers enough for your show, but I certainly was left wondering "how did this get made??"

I get that they made it as a way to push a new angle of "realism" with found footage since probably every possible thing had been done up to that point, the only problem is that pesky little website called IMDB which has the "real" actors' full resumes listed. Before when Blair Witch came out there was the ability to have it come off as real since the internet was in its infancy still so a lot of people didn't know how to really look for the information. Now it's a simple click and boom, you know everything about everyone involved in the movie.
