Best Films About Alien Abductions

Best Films About Alien Abductions

As Alien Invasion Films became increasingly popular into the 1980s, alien abductions became a subtheme of aliens visiting Earth and would eventually become its own subgenre. Some earlier films such as The UFO Incident (1975) and The Return (1980) touched upon themes of humans being abducted (and returned) by aliens, but the tropes and themes of this subgenre were arguably defined later with Communion (1989) and Fire in the Sky (1993). After those films, there was a run of films featuring everything from benevolent alien abductions in Visitors of the Night (1995) and UFO Sweden (2022) to increasing darker depictions of aliens performing grisly experiments on humans in The Signal (2014), Dark Encounter (2019) and the recent, Osiris (2025).

In this video, we'll look at some of the best films involving alien abductions from one of the better films that used the Phoenix Lights as its backdrop for an alien abduction, a recent film in the vein of Jacob's Ladder where a man is convinced he was abducted by aliens while slowly losing his sanity and a variety of films that have the best scenes involving aliens experimenting on humans.
