Creature Unknown

You know the story..Pretty kids alone in the woods,when BAM!something starts cutting them up.

Well this crap is no different.A bunch of kids return to a cabin where the male leads twin brother disappeared for years before.Suddenly an "UNKOWN CREATURE" stars cutting them up,and their only help is a doctor/biker.

To say this film was bad is an understatement,it's smut! The acting was horrible.

The creature looked very cheesy. And as all films do these days they try to get you with a twist ending,which they do not!

There is one bright spot to this film- LOST star Maggie Grace as the female lead.

A weekend reunion becomes a confrontation with an humanoid lizard creature created by a mad scientist as a group of young adults are forced to face the terrible sins of their past. Rented this one because I've never heard of it and it looked like it would offer great cheesy b-movie goodness. To my surprise, it came threw as a surprisingly impressive horror film, despite being littered with flaws. their's a fair amount of originality in this film--for example, the creature's origin, once explained, is quite interesting, the characters, spare a few, were likable, and, since the film was directed by Michael Burnett, who comes from an F/X background, as you would imagine, the special effects in this film are quite good. The gore effects (Decapitations, throat slicings, eye gougings) look excellent and the monster effects look pretty darn impressive for what must have been a low-budget. That said, their are some flaws--the script is rearly interesting and is loaded with stupid lines ("this Sh*t looks like my dead grandpa"), and, most irritating, the main character's girlfriend seems to have quite a bit of knowledge about reptiles, considering she's a freakin' MEDICAL STUDENT!!!!!! All in all, not a bad pic. Has enough gore, action, and unexpected twists to keep me interested. I'm in a good mood, i'll give it a 6.5/10.

I repeat 'As scary as Scooby Doo...with the lights on!'

I only watched this film as when i was on holiday, the villa we stayed in had this film. So i thought i might as well watch it as i am a horror fanatic. The first two minutes played and I realised this film is of poor quality, acting and script. I do not need to hear a bang then for the character to say 'oh what was that, it was a bang' So i turned it off.

Days later I realised Maggie Grace who plays shannon in Lost was in it. I love Lost and have seen many films and TV shows with the actors of Lost in them:

Vantage Point-Matthew Fox / The Fog-Maggie Grace / Lord of the rings and Flashforward-Dominic Monohghan / Flashforward-Desmonds wife in Lost (Olivia in Flashforward)

So i bravely watched the entire film. Not even Maggie Grace could save this one way ticket to disaster ville. The monster looks like the swamp monster from scooby doo and is not scary, just laughable. The actors are all terrible and clearly have not watched the film themselves...sorry Maggie. The only good thing about this film is the twist at the end.

Stay away from this film. It is also known as 'The Forest' Not even Sky 3 would show this. This is only number 2 on the worst ever horror films though as 'The Signal' has beaten this film to top spot.

Creature Unknown is the right word for this movie. Or maybe it should be called Unknown Movie. This movie is a piece of crap right from the beginning. It has a really stupid "plot," really pathetic "acting," and so-so "special effects."

Some thirty-something year old "post-teens" are trapped in the woods with a mad, reptilian, rubber-suit creature lurking around endlessly. What you get with this movie is a bunch of talk and precious little action. You have girls walking through the woods talking, and then you have guys (with heavy mascara on) walking through the woods talking. The whole thing is so boring!

The creature itself is rarely seen throughout most of the movie. When it is shown the picture is distorted to mask the fact that it is a man in a rubber suit, and the movement shows that it is a suit, hence the reason for the blurring and distortion of the image.

This is NOT a good movie in ANY since of the word and the ones here who have praised it are most likely the people that were picked up off the street to "act" in this truly stupefying movie! Skip this one for certain!

As a fan of low budget horror films I was glad to pick this one up in the bargain bin from my local video store. The script is so-so but the effects and behind the scenes footage were great, especially for a low budget film.

The Quality of the audio and video were better than I would expect for a low budget project. I thought the music was OK but the sound effects could have been more realistic. Overall I thought it was a good effort for first time Director Michael Burnett.

Overall I found it much better than the typical Full Moon direct to video stuff. I'll watch this one again!
