Very good little horror flick


Lots of snobs on imdb. This want "Halloween" or anything but it did what it set out to do IMO.

If It set out to waste time and money. Mission accomplished. Add this to the weekly list of garbage that comes out on the net and Is never seen again. Thankfully.

The only time I wasted with this movie was reading snarky comments by people who think they're film critics. People who think they know what makes a good movie, but really only parrot things they heard other people say. People bitch about CGI this and CGI that, and 'where are the practical effects', and then a movie comes out, and they bitch about THOSE effects. Aside from the father, I personally enjoyed the movie just fine.

it was indeed nice to see practical gore effects but they showed the movie's DTV budget. if the blood didn't look like colored water spurting out, it would have helped a lot because the makeup itself was pretty good for a little movie.

I agree with Kyrix. I was also shocked to see this had such a low rating. I forget how I heard about it, but the trailer mentioned it had an old school feel and sold me on the movie.

I watched the movie and I was not disappointed. I got a modern film with an old school feel too it, and goddamn that monster is one of the coolest movie monsters I have ever seen. The practical effects made it even more worth it. They don't make movies like this anymore and it's a *beep* shame.

I think it's worth at least a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. It's not the best horror movie I have ever seen, but it's much better than most of the *beep* that passes off for horror these days. And it's not a remake, so there is also that.

So we have to be film critics to state our opinion on a film website message board?
Hmm, I thought that' was exactly what these forums were for.
When you gave your opinion wasn't that YOU giving your film review?
You're like every other dumba$$ on IMDb
Cuz what you really mean is, it's only okay to post an opinion on a film, as long as it's YOUR opinion.
Get over yourself.
I personally couldn't care less if you have a hard on for bad horror films. Great. Glad you liked it.
I didn't. I DONT agree with you. Imagine that? A different opinion than yours somewhere online.
Log off for awhile I think cuz this place isn't for you kid.

I'm usually very critical of these so-called B grade horror flicks.
This one, apart from the obvious pacing flaws, is a cut above the usual formulaic dreck.
Actually consider it a reasonably entertaining 90 minutes spent.

It did what it set out to do?
Did it set out to suck? Cuz, mission accomplished!
