Warriors of Terra

If you're not on an unlimited movie plan, skip this one fast. Edward Furlong has fallen a long way from T2 and American History X to be doing movies like this. And even worse yet, he wasn't the main character and didn't have a significant amount of screen time.

The movie itself was relatively predictable with only a couple minor plot twists that were not entirely unforeseeable. A group of animal rights activists break into a laboratory to liberate the animals and display their message with graffiti. They unknowingly walked into a very dangerous and deadly experiment that they manage to let loose. With a "team" hot on their tails and their only goal to survive, the night lasts longer than this movie ever should have. The movie managed to make almost every single character completely expendable and in the end the only one left was the most obvious selection.

Don't waste your time and especially your money, the only redeeming quality of this movie is the creepy noises the creature makes a la The Grudge.

OK, not the worst movie ever made, but the production company better hope the makers of the F.E.A.R. video game never see it.

Through the movie, you see the word FEAR on walls, posters, etc. The "creature"'s name is Maya and it's about one cheesed of little girl who's been done wrong by a pharmceutical company... where have I seen that before, oh yeah, the game F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon).

This movie rips that game off BIG-TIME... Except it replaces the squads of heavily armed (and generally innefectual) troopers with a bunch OK kids armed with dope and their sneakers.

If you like the game fear, you might get some enjoyment out of this version of the story, but as a stand alone movie, it's not great.

Oh well, for free on my satellite, with the option to turn it to another station, it's OK.

This has got to be one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. Avoid at all costs. The characters are one dimensional, the acting is horrible. They are no scares. You don't care when any of the characters get killed. Why and when did Fix even split up with his group? Ellen Furey (Ali) is one of the plainest looking actors I have ever seen. She is supposed to be the pretty girl, and she is so plain looking. I still can't believe Furlong would want his name above the title of this movie considering he was barely in it. Ali was a complete waste of time. This character shouldn't have even been in this movie with all her whining. The end credits music is just as cheesy as this movie. Too much record spinning on it. Do not waste your time renting or watching this movie. It is abhorrent, and most of the actors who are in this have probably killed their career by being in it.

I like a good "B" horror pic now and then and I respect the film makers when they can do something witty, or innovative, or just scary in new way, especially on a budget. For instance the first "Jeepers Creepers".

"Worriers", er, "Warriors of Terra" accomplishes NONE of these things.

Editing is nonsensical, characters are murky/schizo when not totally unsympathetic. The sets and photography are attractive but the TIRED effect of cutting lights on and off constantly as though shorted out detracts from what could have been an above average "look" for a movie of this budget.

Midway through the thing I just wanted them ALL to die, and pretty darned quick!

The monster is all-powerful, then the female protagonist can kick its ass, then its all-powerful again...ALL WITH NO EXPLANATION! If you start to feel irritable or even angry while watching this movie, it is not your medication, it is the MOVIE!

WARRIORS OF TERRA may sound like a high-flying fantasy movie, but it is actually an indescribably bad sci-fi flick about a bunch of youngsters who break into a biology lab to rescue animals, only to be confronted by a girl who has been turned into some kind of evil telekinetic. She proceeds to kill everybody she can. Problem is, the special effects are virtually nonexistent, and the creature is not particularly scary. She looks like something left over from THE GRUDGE. The youngsters are played by a bunch of bad actors including Edward Furlong of TERMINATOR 2 fame. Old Eddie hasn't exactly had the most sterling career since T2 (see him in THE VISITATION for another example of his shrill acting). You may safely skip this one. Clever titles and box cover art don't always tell the truth.
