This is not a good movie, although by low budget monster movie standards I would say it is far from the worst. The plot and the dialogue are no worse than average for such movies. One thing I liked was this: Usually in monster movies set in a small town, a significant percentage of the population are ignorant blockheads continually running off halfcocked and doing stupid, and usually trigger-happy, things. This movie had a few of those, but most of the major characters were actually decent, reasonable people. That was a pleasant enough change that in spite of the two star rating, I'm actually not sorry I watched this.

Pretty much everything about this movie was bad, but what stuck out for me was the dialogue. Most of it was just random clichés thrown together. It was often the case that one line made no sense in light of what had immediately preceded it. And much of the direction seemed to be an effort to make all of this gibberish seem profound.
