Can you name one original thing in this movie?


Lost footage.
Deep dark tunnnels.
CHUDs. (Youngsters can look that up at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087015/

It's ALL been done before

Yeah, the movie was basically [REC] meets C.H.U.D. (though to me it seemed more like a rip-off of Death Line). It wasn't executed terribly effectively either, those "interviews" kept killing whatever tension managed to build up.

Don't forget "As Above, so Below." That one's pretty good, actually. Especially the twist at the end.

I did like this one, but a few holes and too vague about the monster. I assume the glimpses are due to costume budget, but still, some writing could 'splain a few things, still leaving much to the imagination.

Nothing's resolved in this movie, either, unless you consider a distrust of government something unexpected and new.

I'd have preferred to leave the "interview" segments out. They let us know who would survive.
