Thirst

So many ways out. They've got highways a quarter mile away, cars, ATVs, people within walking distance, helicopters, yet they still can't get out. No one seems to be too upset that they're being slowly picked off by this reject from the Transformers (too small, not tough enough) and literally sucked dry of their precious bodily fluids. Everyone in the movie is pretty nonchalant, in fact, with time to be jokey, have fist fights, develop romantic relationships. There's little to recommend this one except the scene with the chopper.

THIRST opens with the crash of an alien craft. Something has arrived, quickly relieving some poor extra of his life.

Next, we're introduced to a group of hikers, preparing for a week-long excursion into the same place that the creature landed. It's a "second chance" hike for young offenders. Their adult guides take away their cell phones, drugs, etc.

Not long into the hike, the not-so impressive extraterrestrial introduces itself, causing chaos and death.

Several factors pretty much sink this production. The older actors who play the guides are killed off quickly. The problem is that they're also the better performers! The younger survivors just turn this into another mindless, teen monster movie. Also, the sub-par CGI, as always, looks so cartoonish that it takes us out of the movie every time it appears! Granted, it's cheaper than practical effects. However, it not only looks fake, but jarringly so!

Still, this movie might be enjoyable as a bleary-eyed, late night's entertainment...

This movie is a desert take on a sort of Alien / Terminator type creature that chases a small group of Tough Love teens and their guides. Of course the 'teens' are played by 20 to 30 something actors.

The script is fairly bad. But people do die pretty much in the appropriate order. It's actually not a badly shot film and the effects are decent enough. The character do follow somewhat illogical paths.

The title of the movie also did not have anything to do with the movie so I'm not sure why they chose it.

This is not any more deserving than a 3 of 10. It probably doesn't even deserve that much.

It's entertaining for what it is ! I initially played it as background noise as I worked from home, but soon found my head lifting and looking. I was intrigued and have to say it was fun. People are too critical and are quick to dissect. Of course it's not a blockbuster or worthy of an award, but it's still watchable and the people that created it tried their best.

What would you get if you take the creature from Alien and give it A Terminator skeleton well other than a lawsuit from James Cameron you get this metal alien. This alien crashes into earth and starts feeding on some young adults in a second chance rehab program in a remote area. One by one they get picked off until they decide to fight back.

This one is more action than horror. Looks like they had a decent budget though. The characters are paper thin. I just watched it and I can't remember them.

Nothing new or original here. They couldn't even pick an original title!
