What ridicule? All he is saying is the movie is an over the top, horror movie that bears little in common with his experience in abduction research.
He probably wouldn't have even bothered to write anything if the movie was not falsely promoted as "based on authentic footage".
Why would it be confusing that he would criticize a movie which grossly distorts the "alien abduction phenomenom", whatever that really is?

Even if I asked the question,
to me his statements are hardly confusing.
The movie adds ridicule to the actual research of the UFO/ET phenomenon.
So does Bud Hopkins.
The so-called "abduction phenomenon" is a
concept based on fiction, belief and assumptions.
It is not based on facts.

To me, the whole scenario of some hypothetical hyperbeings
being malevolent against less developed races sounds really naive.
Why would we want to "conquer" ants?

To clarify...I don't mean Government propaganda. It's just pop culture crap in my opinion, but it will paint a very negative image of aliens in a lot of people's minds regardless of whether it's real footage or not.
I am ridiculously behind with movies- guess I'm not much of a movie goer
but watched Independance day last night on the tel- it really was quite disheartening to watch, fgs everyone was cheering at the end when the aliens were wiped out- I missed the start so wasnt sure if they attacked or not
Hollywood and the crap it churnes out is quite naueseating, no wonder I dont bother.

So although no proof of "alien abduction" exists,
there are facts which suggest that there is an unsolved mystery.

I'm sorry, but you obviously have not looked into the methods
that qualified hypnotic therapists use.

This movie is bad for Ufology. This movie can be summed up with two words: "FEAR" and "PROPAGANDA"

BTW: I actually think that psychedelics are a tool to understand larger concepts, such as the subject at hand, among other things. They bring light and knowledge (in the right hands), not fear and unclarity.
Not that i've ever taken any.

I just saw the movie. Don't waste your money.
I've been researching the UFO/ET subject for 15 years. This was pure fiction fear-based crap. Aliens don't bend people in half and crack their spine. Thanks for tainting Ufology. Hollywood can burn for all I care...

Hypnosis is NOT Science.
This movie is bad science fiction and bad history, with an agenda.
Agenda: Fear, Ridicule (and 'entertainment').
The information of Mack, Hopkins, Strieber et al, is obtained
by using an outdated, hence, controversial and invalid method of Science:
Under hypnosis people can get induced to believe
(they are) just about anything?
Conclusion:
This movie, and the agenda behind it that is promoting it,
is another one of those saddening attempts to discredit the benevolent
visitors to Earth from the other Planets of our Solar System.
Agenda: Fear, Ridicule and 'Entertainment'.
What the 'GOV' doesn't want you to know:
- Visiting ETs are not unidentified,
neither are many of their spaceships.
- We are not alone in our Solar System.
- Visiting extra-terrestrials are Humans.
