Alien Lockdown

In a top-secret military facility, a team of scientists under the command of Dr. Woodman (John Savage) are developing a "super soldier" blending several DNAs including alien DNA. When the experiment goes wrong, a group of elite soldiers are assigned by the military Anslow (Martin Kove) to exterminate the lethal creatures created by Dr. Woodman.

"Alien Lockdown" is another poor production of the Sci-Fi Channel. The screenplay is a mess, there is no character development, the cinematography is awful and the CGI of the predator-like creature follows the usual standard of this channel. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "Criatura" ("Creature")

As a veteran viewer of all Nu Image B movie crapola this was a very entertaining movie. The story is not that special, everyone that was renting flicks in the 80's and early 90's can dream a plot about an underground facility , a monster and a crack team of soldiers. However for B movie and certainly NU IMAGE standards the production values are high (sets, fx) and the cast is rather good. Especially the female lead that is convincing. Of course one could wonder what a James Marshall or John Savage do in these kind of movies. Monster is a ripoff of predator but the twist later on in the film with the beastie is rather nice. It is worth a rent and a view, you can do a lot worse with the infamous one word titles from nu image ( it is called Creature in the Netherlands) that seem to specialize nowadays in big ass creatures and is actually competing with UFO films in the race to be the king of the B movies.

One of the crappiest movies I have seen recently, Jesus.

Creature aka Alien Lockdown.

Well don't say I didn't warn you when one day encounter this movie and decide you gonna rent, buy and see it!!! Just do yourself a favour and don't do it. The movie is utterly boring has a total lack on originality and suffers a poor storyline bad acting, and utterly uninteresting sceneries. They even put a Lucy Liu kinda woman in this movie, and she is trying to be like her so much that the more she tries the more she fails. The monster is a crossing between Alien and predator. Totally lack on everything in this movie. Nothing I did enjoy and just started to hit the skip forward button to save myself on the last 30 min of watching this piece of garbage that turns seeing movies like this into torture. Avoid like the plague. A big 0 outa 10 for me !!!

Rented this one last night after having only seen the cover of the DVD. I thought, what the hell, might even like it. First off, the lead has some sort of Lucy Liu meets Ellen Ripley vibe going on...weird! And the supporting cast, well lets say they've got as much talent as an extra on a bad Star Trek episode (the one who gets killed right away). Except for John Savage and James Marschall,who have obviously have sunk to an all time low. But hey, what about the effects? Things look like a TV show so don't expect anything flashy. If they show this movie on late night TV, I might even consider it as above average. And that's because of the atmosphere which is actually pretty good, but turn off the sounds because the music just made me wanna kill myself...Note to soundguy: A sci-fi movie is not a Simpsons episode! So if your a sci-fi/light horror fan and you want to see something totally unoriginal, check this one out! I've rented it together with Starship Troopers 2...hope that it's better than this one, or maybe I should stop renting crap...hmmmm?

When I sat down to watch "Alien Lockdown" (aka "Creature"), I hadn't even heard about the movie, nor did I even know who starred in it. I will say that when I saw John Savage's name on the screen, I felt that there was potential for the movie being adequate.

It should be said that "Alien Lockdown" is a low budget movie. And while that is being said, I will also have to say that I have seen far worse low budget sci-fi horror movies than this one.

The movie is about some alien creature going on a rampage in an isolated facility, and a group of highly trained soldiers are sent in to take care of the situation. However, they come to learn some dark truths and find that all are not playing on the same team.

The creature or alien in the movie was a strange hybrid of three already famous movie monsters; the xenomorph (from the "Alien" franchise), the Yautja (the predator creature from the "Predator" franchise) and the Brundlefly (from "The Fly"). And truth be told, then it actually worked out well enough, despite it not really being all that menacing or having quite enough time on the screen.

As for the acting in the movie, well people were doing good jobs with their given roles, and it was indeed John Savage (playing Dr. Woodman) and Michelle Goh (playing Talon) whom stood out as the most memorable performances in the movie.

There is a good amount of action throughout the movie, but it just doesn't make up for the low budget feel to the movie.

All in all, a less than average sci-fi horror movie, but it is worth watching a single time if you have nothing else at hand.
