It's not too bad for a low budget monster movie but there's not much horror to be had. Wasn't that scary but the creature makeup was ok. Similar to Jeepers Creepers but isn't as big budget as that or as action packed. Still it's watchable even if not very thrilling.

I liked the actors. The British teen-agers seem more like real people, than the often smarmy, precocious teens often portrayed in US movies. I found the first half of the movie interesting and well photographed. When the monster showed up, it seemed like a different movie, which didn't seem congruous and was poorly thought out. I found the second half of the movie poorly conceived and very weird, but not in a good way.

Loved: The humor Some of the character development, but could have done more. Hated: characters make unrealistic decisions The ending was incredibly cheesy The monster became very un-scary as the film went on, shown too often. A decent one time watch for most

This movie felt rushed. It's not a bad movie by any means but there's all these random things that keep getting thrown at you. I also thought the way the kids were acting was off, not their acting skills but their actions. They get attacked by the movies monster and 10 minutes later they are flirting and playing the air drums. I've never been in a "getting attacked by alien thing" situation but I don't think I'd be acting that way. But it is a movie so... overall it's cool.

The kids acting wasn't bad, but differently not realistic for situation. Story tried so hard to be a coming of age story it missed opportunities to do that. Strange flash backs. Unrealistic choices made by characters.
