It seemed to be written by a 10 year old and filmed by high school kids. The following were simply ghastly: Acting, directing, plot (A and B stories), dialog, logic of any kind, and special effects. This movie should have a "F" rating for FAIL on every level. Please don't waste your time like I did. Go find something much better. Cheers!
I loved this movie! It wasn't meant to be an A list mega release. It is just a fun, fast paced, sometimes bloody, B thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat.
I very much liked Kevin James as the heavy. He played this role so good. And Lulu Wilson as the protagonist couldn't have been cast better. In fact, all the actors did a great job and were very believable.
So, the downside is that the writers should have made all the action/story a little more believable. With just a little more thought this could have been a cult classic (Think: Last House On The Left). But instead it comes off as a pretty childish writing job.
Still, if your looking for something fun this summer in a sea of mediocrity then try this little B thriller. You'll be glad you did.
What is with all the low scores? I loved this film! You have to see it with the proper genre in mind though. It is a low budget sci-fi horror with some good twist and turns. It sort of reminded me of the 70's horrors but the CGI was pretty compelling in my opinion (considering the budget it was awesome).
The aliens came across as downright creepy and weird, the actors did a good job with what they were given, and the directing and photography was at least good. Yes, there was "some" shaky cam, which I have always detested since The Blair Witch project. But most of the scenes where shot steady.
If your looking for another big budget hollywould film with big names, lots of catch-phrases and witty comebacks, some liberal propaganda, and unlimited CGI from Industrial Light and Magic...then yea, this ain't it. But if you are a fan of the "B" movies and enjoy a good story, good acting, some really freaky aliens, good CGI, all with a few twist and turns then you really need to see this.
So, all you "B" movie aficionados grab some popcorn, some root beer, and pop-in the disk. You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend!
