I'll be honest... (Review + Spoilers)

The ONLY reason why I saw this movie was because Callum Blue was in it, and I loved him in Dead Like Me.
The movie is decent, not bad but not good either (better than Sci-Fi channel original movies). It's completely obvious what's going to happen but it takes forever to get there. I think it would have been better without the beginning scene, telling us that everyone died does kill the point of watching (sometimes watching a story unfold is enjoyable, but not so much here). Couple that with it taking forever to get to the actual deaths, I think is what made this movie irritably bad. But I think it deserved it's score. It's a half decent horror flick. There are comments about political messages ("imposing/destroying other cultures will bite back") but those can be easily forgotten and ignored, after all, we're not here for politics.
There are a few good parts in the movie, and it seems realistic enough.
I think the movie did rather good with subliminal scenes (as though it was a View-Master toy), those small things that you don't notice but crawl under your skin. Examples:
-Scene where Tino (?) goes in to wake up staffsergent and he goes into the shadow with the girl, his buddy comes in and shines his light, only Tino is there, on the opposite side.
-When Wilcox looks out in the desert and the dijn comes for him. Each time we go back to the dijn we see a different action (standing, walking, recognizing who it is, disappear, murder) and the music matches.
-The very last shot actually scared me for some reason. The one where it shows the desert and you see something buried but you don't know what, then you get a little more, and then you see an arm and a horrified face with it's eyes cut out.
-The radio message that we hear throughout the movie turns out to come from one of the soldiers at the end, with the main character and viewer realizing it.

This can't be said for the laughable CGI though. Some people will say that they were trying to hide the dijn and that could be true. But it's probably just that they had very limited budget for the CGI and decided to save it till the end, nothing wrong with that though.
I think they also did a good job emphasizing the isolation that the characters were in (even though they did overkill the shot of the house in the desert).
I'd say that it's worth a download on a bored rainy day when you want something pertaining to horror but not actually involving it.
