To get things straight from the outset, "Hangar 10" (aka "The Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident") is NOT a cheap and useless Turkey, filled with daft dialogue and illogical sequences of events, notwithstanding its presence among the cheaper supermarket movies on DVD.Rather, this is a film that takes itself pretty seriously and tries hard - a fact that is made all the clearer by bonus materials featuring British director-writer Daniel Simpson. The piece took two years to make in the course of 7 visits to the real locations in Suffolk (Forest and disused MoD/USAF bases likewise). Interestingly, efforts to make all seem gloomy and inhospitable were apparently thwarted somewhat by the film crew's rather regular encounters with bright, sunny weather! But those who doubt (as I did) that rural East Anglia can really play host to the kind of deserted desolation shown in the film may take heart from the real-life fact that Rendlesham Forest covers 1500 ha - that's quite a large area (certainly by British standards), and easily enough space to get lost in. While Rendlesham village has some 3000 people, the area south of it that includes the Forest and base is on a kind of peninsula between river estuaries with just a few (mostly tiny) villages, plus a lot of forest and heath.To get something else straight, the "Incident" here is not the world-famous December 1980 one (which may or may not have been anything unusual), but "a fictional" one involving 3 young adults out (semi-legally) with metal detectors in 2013. "Fictional" it may be, but also very similar to the "real" 1980 descriptions from US military personnel, in that lights and noises and assumed alien presences are involved.It's then a reasonable enough topic for a sci-fi film, and it's also a reasonable enough candidate for the kind of "hand-held/found footage" work we (and our balance systems and stomachs) have tried to get accustomed to thanks to offerings like "Cloverfield". Indeed, like the latter film (and indeed the trendsetting "Blair Witch Project"), "Hangar 10" has as its raison d'etre a faith that audiences will like to experience, to fear, and to fail to fully understand, events of a magnitude and nature well beyond human ken.Though rather little actually happens here, and though we have seen far worse things in many other films, this work DOES achieve its goal of disorientation, and a surprisingly high level of scariness for that reason. It also pursues a plot line that becomes clear enough as the film proceeds (clearer still if the alternative ending is consulted). If that story looks implausible or ludicrous (as well it might, obviously) that is more a reflection of a refusal to accept sci fi premises on the part of the viewer than it is any real failing on the makers' part.That leaves the one remaining question of whether one (and more specifically a sci-fi-appreciating one) would actually want to bother.I did, and on the whole I don't regret it. This film has more integrity and cohesion than a great many other filmed pieces of science fiction, including many that had hugely greater budgets at their disposal.

This movie is awesome! It is genuinely scary and I don't scare easily. Unlike a lot of other horror movies it doesn't try too hard to be scary. I was glued to my seat for the entire run of it.The "legend" of the UFO sightings at Rendlesham Forest has always been a personal interest of mine and I definitely think a lot more happened than the MoD are willing to let on. I cannot overstate how much this movie really puts shiny spit-polished Hollywood horror movies in their place. It didn't go over the top with its fictionalisation and seemed very plausible, apart from there are a few airports near the Rendlesham Forest area and they would definitely pick up the huge spacecraft as seen at the end on radar.A lot of found-footage movies tend to be quite lame, and the acting quite wooden, but not in "Hangar 10".Since we will never know what REALLY happened in December 1980 at RAF Woodbridge or what the base's operations were, it's really really great that a movie like this has been produced.

I rented this on Amazon, where it is listed under the alternative title of "The Rendlesham UFO Incident". The synopsis, as presented on Amazon's Fire TV, is rather limited and so I took this to be a new Rendlesham documentary. The movie is listed as having the release date of "2015" to add to the confusion.Of course, I found out within a couple of minutes that this drivel could not be further from a documentary and is the kind of found footage nonsense that gives serious UFO research a bad name. Do yourself a favour and poke yourself in the face with sharp needles for a couple of hours - this will be a more rewarding experience.

This has to be the worst found footage film of all time. It's boring. It's slow. It's all over the place. Terrible camera work. Cheap Effects. Bad Acting.This is an insult to the Rendlesham Forest Incident.UFO stuff should be scary and have an atmosphere to them, this Hangar 10 garbage has none, not one sign of it.I have to say again the camera work is terrible, its so shaky, they should not of let the clueless actors hold the camera. What you see on screen is the result of people that have no idea of how to handle a camera.Don't bother with this so called film, it sucks and more so.Mike.
