This is not a perfect movie. It is also nowhere near the worst of all time. It is a low budget horror movie, and not a bad one. Hollywood dumps worse than this in theaters every January and late August.

Too dark and not in a good way, even in daytime setting I couldn't see a thing, I've no idea what was going on as the screen just seemed to be in total darkness. I can understand most of these things happen at night but even the daytime stuff seemed to be dark, I thought at first there was a Shaddow on my screen.

Didn't keep me interested enough to watch it all the way through, boring story, boring cast and I couldn't see what was going on.

It might have been a good film but I will never know, it was filmed in stygian darkness, who was doing what to who and why will remain a mystery, as I could not make out what was going on, and why did they not call in the US Army to deal with whatever it was? filming great parts of films in darkness seems to be a trend lately, does it save money on sets? or Lighting? I don't know but it is tiresome.

I wanted to like this movie, but it was just ok. The acting is solid and some great atmospheric moments. The story is not all too original but still intriguing. Where the movie fails for me is in two spots. First, yes I know it is mostly at night, but parts are just too dark for the human eye. Second, the whole film is based around the monsters that we hardly get to see enough of. Worth a watch but keep your expectations low.

One of those films which makes absolutely no practical sense. Cliche after cliche, inaccurate technical details and an old play on the heroine. Cookie cutter to put it bluntly. The character actions did not portray, even remotely, the common sense anyone would immediately have. The monster was same ole, same ole. The bad guys more common than usual with the usual, obvious twist. I successfully predicted all the elements of this film before they occurred. Anyone could. Anyone will. However, my gf did like it so I let it play. I've seen much better monster/creature films but I've also seen more monster films which are worse, a lot worse. All in all, you can watch it but it won't really do much for ya. Unless, of course, you are rather new to monster/creature features.
