Thirst

I'm left scratching my head wondering why some people seem to have a hate on for this film.

Thirst is not going to win any awards but, that said, its an enjoyable, fun, sci fi action romp. The casting for this film is on target, the pacing improves as the film progresses and for a relatively low budget film, the special effects are pretty decent.

There's also a subtle nod to Aliens II towards the closing scenes, for those paying attention.

I was never bored watching this flick. Its a great one for a wet Saturday or Sunday indoors with chips, dip and few beers. Seriously, ignore the detractors and give it a go. Seven out of ten from me.

This film just dragged and was boring. Special Effects are alright, like Sci fi channel good. I normally am a sucker for b grade creature features with cheesiness but this was just a complete drag. And it wasn't so bad it's funny movie it was just alright enough to not be special at anything really. Like completely mediocre. If it was at least funny or creepy I would've enjoyed it more.

Flicking through the channels last night landed me with this film: a low-budget action horror with the usual bad acting and bad script.

Yet I somehow watched it all, and by the end I wondered if I'd nearly enjoyed it? Yes the pacing was atrociously slow, the premise has been done to death, but the stupid actions of the characters made me laugh. I also laughed at how often the actors got their cue wrong.

But the monster stole the show. The director clearly wanted this thing to be a splice of everything - an alien queen, a cyborg, a dinosaur, a centaur... it was such a muddled mess of ideas (it almost reminded me of Cartman's Scuzzlebutt creation). It also appears to have ninja-like stealth abilities, despite being a huge noisy, clunking, clangy machine-thing, because it can literally show up anywhere at any time and the characters only realise it is present thanks to electrical interference of a radio they carry.

So yeah, a totally garbage film that somehow manages to entertain.

It's entertaining for what it is ! I initially played it as background noise as I worked from home, but soon found my head lifting and looking. I was intrigued and have to say it was fun. People are too critical and are quick to dissect. Of course it's not a blockbuster or worthy of an award, but it's still watchable and the people that created it tried their best.

This movie is a desert take on a sort of Alien / Terminator type creature that chases a small group of Tough Love teens and their guides. Of course the 'teens' are played by 20 to 30 something actors.

The script is fairly bad. But people do die pretty much in the appropriate order. It's actually not a badly shot film and the effects are decent enough. The character do follow somewhat illogical paths.

The title of the movie also did not have anything to do with the movie so I'm not sure why they chose it.

This is not any more deserving than a 3 of 10. It probably doesn't even deserve that much.
