Garbage Asylum quality movie.

Just watched this, well, some of it, it's so badly acted and directed that I watched about 25 minutes of it and found myself skipping through the rest. The effects are dreadful, on par with those Asylum and SYFY monster of the week movies. It's painfully obvious that this is very low budget but if you don't have a budget big enough to make a film like this then why bother?

If you're easily pleased with the guff that SYFY stick on every week (Sand sharks, mega this vs mega that etc) then you might like it but if you're a little more demanding with your horror/fantasy movies like I am then don't bother with it, it's crap. Disney's Dragon slayer was better and that was made in the early 80's.

I agree.

And to me low budget doesnt equal that it must be a bad movie. The real sad part was the dialog. If the writing would have been better then I can cope with bad CGI and else.

Yeah I agree with the writing bud, was lousy but I can't cope with bad CGI either. I think if a production company cant afford decent effects then they should do something else that doesn't require CGI. I don't see the point in making a film that you know is going to look awful. To me, that just shows a complete lack of respect for your target audience, since it is them who end up paying the rental/purchase fee.
