    What's The Worst That Can Happen?????

    -1 Star For the endless natural gas sequence This movie did answer the question of when does a childish joke go on too long.

    -1 Star for the very next sequence....really? about the food? Please.

    -1 Star for even saying 'What's the Worst That can Happen?' after what has already happened

    Why don't we just make a stand??? Like in Zulu???

    Okay am I going to make it to the end of this one??? It's pretty bad.

    Okay WOW I made it. This was just a horrible misstep of a film. It didn't connect with horror or comedy really.

    One to skip.

    A jolly jape

    Ok I'm half cut but I enjoyed this. It's a lot better than some of the big budget Hollywood horror crap. Go into it not expecting much and you might be surprised. The acting wasn't half bad either.

    More comedy than horror

    I didn't really know what to expect from this movie, but as I was watching it, it was -- as another reviewer said -- a mix of two different genres (comedy and horror). However, I'd definitely classify at more as a comedy. The writing was clever and very funny, especially when the guys are discussing the plan to survive. If you're looking for a horror, thriller, slasher-type movie, this isn't for you. If you're looking for a fun movie with the horror aspect of it in the background, you might enjoy this. The acting was good, but you can tell from the cinematography that it was a low-budget indie. I'd advise you to give it a try. I've seen a lot of indie movies -- too many, really -- and this is a fairly well done movie. I was pleasantly surprised, though I doubt I'll watch it again.

    Not great, but not bad either

    I admit, from the offset, that I love a good creature feature, and the fact that I grew up in the area where this was filmed, around Meldon Old Quarry and Reservoir, and northern Dartmoor, may have coloured my opinion.

    The scenery is good and the cinematography is pretty good too, for an indie flick, and would put some larger budget films to shame.

    The cast are not particularly likeable, especially one that is outright nasty, which tends to lead to you rooting for the Dartmoor Beast - which is a real legend around here, by the way. The banter between them is pretty funny at times, and adds comedy to the film.

    The beast is too unseen in this movie, and it would have been better to have featured it more. I suspect that cost featured in this decision, but it could have been much scarier, whilst still being funny, along the lines of An American Werewolf in London.

    Overall, I quite enjoyed it. It is not comedic gold, nor is it a horror masterpiece, but it is certainly worth a watch.

    unfunny comedy or unhorrific horror. You choose.

    Made in the style of Dog Soldiers but fails to come anywhere near to it. The script is out of a 14 year old boys classroom and the beast is over mysterious for too long. Didn't even make full use of a Scottish wilderness which can be awesome on its own. Characters on the verge of death are within minutes sitting around having long conversations. I've seen worse but that alone does not constitute a success.

      The sky / clouds constantly change from clear blue, to overcast, to partly cloudy, to stormy in many of the shots - within the same scene.

      When Pete is giving Spencer his idea for the wedding speech, the rolled cigarette behind his left ear changes angle / position several times. In one particular scene where Pete brings his head down close to Spencer's, it seems to momentarily disappear altogether.
