Perhaps this movie hasn’t been released yet … not sure. Anyway, a few weeks ago I remember seeing a trailer for a movie similar to “Paranormal Activity” but it was about a sleep study. It was possibly based on a true story and mentioned something about evidence of true supernatural activity.

I’m a total wuss and can’t stand scary movies - but I like to read the spoilers about them. I thought of the trailer for that film recently, tried to google it and came up empty.

Anyone know the name of the film?

Thanks!

Are you thinking of [The Fourth Kind](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220198/) which purported to be taken from actual case studies of repressed alien memories?

ETA: damn! Just a minute or two too late.
