Did anybody else get pissed after watching this?
I watched it & was really getting into it because of the isolation factor & the actors being clueless & then a complete left turn happened & it took me to a place where I couldn't give a *beep* about anything. If they would have just kept it in style of THE THING then I would have liked it but they had to turn it into a 90's bore fest movie where everyone explains something scientific every 10 minutes. I don't want smarts. I don't want a lesson in science. I want a tough group of people who realize they have to fight for survival at any cost & have to themselves just find out the beast's weaknesses & act on them. Affleck, the 2 women, & the 2 deputies should have stretched out & should have been the only actors in the movie. Then the movie could have been a simple action/Sci Fi movie with a battle between good & evil which people like. Then at the end when the beast dies & the characters are all beat up then you have a sence of completion. This movie took so long to actually get to the point that it was over ten minutes later it seemed. Towards the end I started thinking "why am I even still watching this movie? I don't care about anyone in it & I'm tired of seeing the possessed dead showing up tring to look scary & I don't even know what the Phantom is or what it looks like or why it possesses what it kills. What the hell does the deputy coming back have to do with the actual Phantom. It just didn't work & sucked. I had higher hopes from Joe Chappelle since he directed my favorite Halloween & Hellraiser 4 which was a good atmospheric movie but no such luck.
Don't wander into abandend churches for Czakyr will grab you from underneath the watery grave.
