Gnaw

I'm a sucker for creature movies, and I enjoyed the creature in this movie. The special effects were sometimes quite adequate and other times a little silly (usually while stationary). The film itself never fully commits to being a horror movie, but I still found it enjoyable enough. The story was solid, more so than most of these kinds of movies.The acting was solid. The characters were solid. The logic defying stupidity that plagues characters in horror movies was fairly light. The creature was a cross between the pixies from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and the creatures from Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, and I loved it. Should you see it? I have a wall of horror films, and if I were to buy this on DVD and add it to my collection the overall quality of my collection would increase slightly. If you like creature movies, then I'd say give it a try.

I don't understand that high score. the film is dragged and slow, all the characters are boring and you will wish each of them to die. the creature is very dull, it does not scare. the drama experienced by the protagonist is much more interesting than anything in this film ....

A beat-down wife runs away from her abusive marriage to start a new life. The apartment building she moves into is on the seedy side. So much so that her neighbor downstairs offs herself leaving behind a health hazard of an apartment. Once the city has cleaned the suicide apartment our heroine finds and takes a beautiful little box from the pile of stuff. Her troubles start. The box is indeed beautiful and the demon is great, too. Its look and movement both.

As soon as the movie starts, with a chick in a car nodding on real bad music, you get the feeling this is going to be a B-movie. But I've seen good B-movies before so why not giving it a shot. The first half of the movie there is some mystery and the story is entertaining enough to watch even though there is not much 'horror' going on for a horror movie. Penelope Mitchell is doing okay as the main character, as well as Kyle Gass playing the handyman. The acting is all okay aspecially for a B-movie. And that it is a B-movie became all clear at the end, the so-called horror part. They obviously didn't have the budget to create a decent monster. It's more laughable than anything else. I guess to watch once it's just about okay. Don't have too high hopes.

Was expecting this to be terrible but this wasn't half bad. The special effects aren't the worst & the main actress is pretty good. Amusing approach to horror. Stick around at the end of the credits because you see extra bits.
