The Dark Lurking

First when I saw it in the movie store I was like "Wow, a new Alien vs. (something random) movie, just have to see it". Then when I started it up and saw the really f***ed up filming I almost went to get my binoculars just so I could turn them around and be a bit further away from the screen. It's like the director wanted to catch every single drop of sweat that the actors left behind. To give you guys a slight idea on how close it was, it's the type of close you only let your girl get too.

That combined with awful acting, not one can say they did good on this movie, not really easy though when the camera is pushed right up in your face. Still no excuse.

I couldn't stand to watch more than 15 minutes, so if you don't want to waste as much time as I did, just don't watch it. If you do want to watch more than I did, embrace yourself, your eyes will start begging for mercy pretty quick.

Oh dear oh dear, bargain basement dvds are us I am afraid, dreadful, dreadful and dire, Australian actors or swiss or German? They could not really decide and kept changing their accents whenever they felt like it, and the sync seems to be out with the speech so perhaps this made the feel of the film non existent, I never felt for anyone in it so again not much to write home about…set on a ship that is also dreadfully designed in a fashion similar to that mr blobby may have built, armed with only machine guns killing strange creatures…if there is anything positive to say about the film its that the creatures, at times, especially during close up, can be quite scary, so if you watch it, do it for that reason only (and the odd bits of gore fest), as the film lacks anything worthwhile for me to remain captivated. Poor all round for me.

NO SPOILERS (this one couldn't be spoiled anyway :D) First of all.. I didn't pay for this one, I thought this was funny etc. but I bored in middle .. graah.

Nice acting, horrible dialogue, stupid plot, OK effects etc, crappy screenplay :| and some "ripley" kinda wannabe there.

Well with these things this deserves 3/10 at least :D not much else to say. The could name these little 'sensible'.

After all I didn't get much out of this, stupid "zombies" running around in weird plot, stupid directing, clichés and all argh. :) Didn't even laugh.

3/10 from me maybe some kids like this, zombies looked like some fkn Er. whatever :D

World, this is a warning.

This so-called movie's current IMDb rating - 3.6 out of 10 - is an affront to cineastic taste and decency. It is absurdly too high, and will go down. This is one of those movies that have zero reason for existing, whose every aspect of production is A JOKE of derivative and artless incompetence and desperately and despicably amateurish commercialism of the most contemptible kind. There are nary a redeeming value to be found in this piece of offal masquerading as a movie. The main movies it rips off are Event Horizon and Alien, but of course it does so without having any technical competence of any kind, giving the impression that all aspects of the production were presided over by 12-year-olds.

The characters are never introduced or established (there IS no characterization), and there is no discernible plot; no explanations for either the zombies or the aliens. Or if there is, it doesn't come across. This movie is physically and mentally painful to look at, and I feel that humanity as a whole must be warned against it. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I would give this movie several minus points if I could. Still, I will say one good thing about it. The zombies (or whatever the bloody hell they were) were well-made. Quite capable gore effects there. But that's all the praise I can muster for one of the absolutely worst movies I have ever seen. Please do not waste time, and especially avoid wasting money, on this screaming stinker. It will have you writhing in agony, and possibly resorting to gnawing off a limb for solace. Please understand: This is not so bad that it's good. It's just plain awfully, unendurably, insultingly BAD.

This is another movie about experiments that go terribly wrong (Yep. Those craaazy scientists again!).

As a rule, Boloxxxi does not spoil (not knowingly, anyway). It is my every intention to continue this noble tradition. So I have to ask you this question: Would it spoil it for you to know what sort of experiments these afore mentioned crazo scientists were up to? ---If the answer is yes, then STOP RIGHT THERE!! Proceed to the next reviewer and God bless. However, if your answer is no, then forge on ahead good soldier and may God have mercy on your soul.

In an underground facility in outer space somewhere scientists, using human test subjects, perform UNGODLY experiments in order to bring back the "Fallen Angel", or less poetically, "The Devil". Some aspect of him anyway, using some ancient DNA from where he landed on his ass after God gave him the boot (I'm not making this up folks, it's in the movie!). Why the HELL would they want to do this, you ask? Beats the HELL out of me. I guess curiosity sometimes trumps good sense. Anyway, as might be expected, the human test subjects turn into horrible, toothsome monsters who see potato chips where they should see humans.

I actually liked this movie even though it was unoriginal, except for how the monsters are explained (the product of a fearless imagination, no doubt). As well, the acting, writing, and the general presentation was a bit amateurish. --But who cares? I thought it was suspenseful enough and the monsters ugly enough to hold my attention. I found myself rooting for the little horror film that could because I liked the people and the effort. Finally, if this movie were a meal, it would be fast-food. It's health benefits may be questionable, but it tastes good. So, again, who cares? Love, Boloxxxi.
