The Wicksboro Incident (2001) Reviews

The Wicksboro Incident (2001)
Member Rating:  
In this science fiction-themed mockumentary feature, a pair of filmmakers, Mike (Dan Brinkle) and Gary (Kyle Nudo), are working on a project about Lloyd (Bobby Harwell), an elderly man with a remarkable, if dubious, story. Lloyd claims that in the 1940s he invented a machine that could read the alpha rays given off by human beings and that a test of the machine led to the sudden disappearance of the entire population of Wicksboro, TX. Mike and Gary find Lloyd's story fascinating, though hardly credible, but as they visit what remains of Wicksboro, they learn that there may be more truth to Lloyd's story than they imagined. The Wicksboro Incident received its world premiere at the 2001 Hollywood Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Shot as a fake documentary by a couple of young film makers investigating the claims of this old guy who seems to be a crackpot, about a small town in Texas where everyone disappeared one day, and the conspiracy and coverup involved. As the young film makers take the old guy back to Wicksboro, TX, they find out he may not have been so crazy after all. The film is very low budget, yet surprisingly suspenseful.

It took about 20 minutes to really get into, but was very worth it. Definitely had the home movie "blair witch project" feel to it, but far surpassed my expectations. Bobby Harwell (who played the lead character Lloyd) was so believable at times I looked over to my husband for reassurance that this was just a movie. Far far far exceeded my expectations on acting and story line. Recommended for those who like the whole government conspiracy/alien cover up type of movie.

Not a bad movie, done in hand-held style. Once the characters get on their way to Texas (takes about 15-20 minutes), it really is pretty suspenseful. The ending is predictable, however creepy. There is some very dark screen time (almost pitch black), due to the fact it is supposed to be realistic.

I'm sorry to anyone who didn't like this, but I think it's exceptionally creepy. Except for the whiny, crybaby film makers, the characters were good, story flowed. The ending left a little hanging, but overall a very good suspense movie..

This movie starts out slowly. It contains very little wizbang as todays sci-fi movies do but if you pay attention it can be interesting especially if you put yourself into this situation. With a little bit more money for funding, this could have been a very good show. Too bad the very few props they used were so cheap that thet took away from the possible credibility of the movie. All in all it was worth while if you are a fan of this type of movie.

I love SiFi but this was a waste of my time. if that was all it took to make a good movie we could all make one. I expect more from a movie.

This where Blare Witch Project meets X Files. The movie is a mockumentary, but is interesting and worth renting once if you're into scifi stuff. It's slow and short, so don't be too enthusiastic.
