For Parents - Important (Spoiler)


While the reviews, and wikipedia entries suggest this is a fairly simple creature feature it's a little more than that. The first people to encounter the monsters are two children, seperately, and the first one a small, perhaps only just a teenage, boy is shown just before being attacked. Given that all you see is his terror and then a cut-away you can briefly hope that he is ok, having escaped somehow, but the next scene shows his even younger sister going exploring in the basement for him, sees him being devoured, his skull a gaping wreck, and her horror. I stopped watching at this point; you might like to choose to not even start.

For those of us that like our horror to have a dose of horror in it, this of course is the point where we *start* watching. :-)

Yup, cute younger sister finds her brother being eaten. And? What's with the self-righteous parental advisory? Don't they have video ratings in your country? In the UK this film is rated 15...

By the way - you found this film in Wiki? Where? The closest I could find (2010/10/10) was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_R._Durban for the person who scored it; with no result on the director (Robert Sanders), the production company (Starway Pictures), nor the title (a 2007 film with Amber Tamblyn)...
