This is one of those movies that I had been planning on watching for quite a while based on its cast alone. It's got Jack Palance. Martin Landau, a very young David Caruso and a bunch of older Hollywood B-list actors.
Well, the basic concept of the movie is on paper, similar to Predator (which came out seven years later than this) - an alien is hunting humans, and humans end up hunting the alien. Of course, a group of youths (more like early 20-year-olds) are heading out to the lake for the weekend, and of course they stop at a rickety gas station. And you know that, of course, the grizzled, old guy running the gas station tries, very hard, to warn them away from the lake they're planning to camp at - and of course they ignore him. All expected 1980's Horror cliches - except this movie predates most other 1980s Horror movies, so it's got that at least. It's also got some reasonably good performances by Jack Palance and Martin Landau (who plays a great crazy guy). David Caruso is pretty much a non-entity here, though it's very early in his career so that's not unexpected. Other than that, this movie really doesn't have much going for it.

Being a big fan of the original FUBAR (2002), I was surprised to find out that there was a sequel released all the way back in 2010 that I hadn't heard of.
After watching this, I'm conflicted: I'm glad I watched it, and I', glad they were able to get it made and released, but it's a hell of a lot darker than I expected. Now, if you go and re-watch 2002's FUBAR (if you need to), you'll realize it may be darker at times, than you remembered, but this went a bit farther. Did that ruin it for me? No, not really, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had expected to - but that's probably on me. I was glad to see Terry and Deaner back on the screen, for sure, and there were a few points that made me laugh out loud, as a well as a surprise or two.

While far from perfect, House managed to keep me entertained. A bit slow at times, and definitely strange throughout, it still managed to be interesting.
