Thirst

This film just dragged and was boring. Special Effects are alright, like Sci fi channel good. I normally am a sucker for b grade creature features with cheesiness but this was just a complete drag. And it wasn't so bad it's funny movie it was just alright enough to not be special at anything really. Like completely mediocre. If it was at least funny or creepy I would've enjoyed it more.

I'm left scratching my head wondering why some people seem to have a hate on for this film.

Thirst is not going to win any awards but, that said, its an enjoyable, fun, sci fi action romp. The casting for this film is on target, the pacing improves as the film progresses and for a relatively low budget film, the special effects are pretty decent.

There's also a subtle nod to Aliens II towards the closing scenes, for those paying attention.

I was never bored watching this flick. Its a great one for a wet Saturday or Sunday indoors with chips, dip and few beers. Seriously, ignore the detractors and give it a go. Seven out of ten from me.

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...

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!
