A Wonderful Suprise


Honestly this movie surprised me a lot. You have to come to expect with these sort of "creature features" to be let down in a number of categories, as was expected with this film.

Having just finished watching the film I can promise you this is in the rare 10 percent that are actually watchable. I've dedicated myself to watching low budget creature flicks over the past few years, a sad obsession yes. I've seen my fair share of god awful CGI (Dark Was the Night, Little Dead Rotting Hood), dire stories (Little Dead Rotting Hood, Feast), or characters that we would rather die than live (Exists, Little Dead Rotting Hood...seriously don't watch this movie, the title should say enough). But what I can say about this movie is that you can feel that real effort was put into this movie, we care for (most) of the characters, the story is above average (A+ for a creature feature) and the practical effects are brilliant without any crappy CGI (thank God!) this movie is genuinely creepy thanks to the use of some insane tension and a terrifying creature design so I'd honestly recommend it to anyone.

It deserves a place in that top 10 percent alongside Bone Tomahawk, The Hallow etc.

And they've numbed you into forgetting what a good horror movie is.

"We"? Don't you mean "You"?

Are you serious? I just wasted 85 minutes of my time watching this crap on Netflix. Exactly how am I going to get that 85 minutes back ?

reply

I completely agree with you. Terrible movie.

reply

This was NOTHING like the hallow or bone tomahawk. You're crazy.

Terrible characters, terrible script, terrible pacing, 90% of the plot is just time wasting filler about the terrible characters and their irrelevant family back home, monster is just a poor mans version of a single monster from Descent that they could barely afford to show on screen at all.

It wasn't scifi channel level bad, but it was a completely forgettable waste of time.

Just watched it and I must agree a bit of a copy of The excellent THE RUINS with a bit of DESCENT mixed in and not badly done at all!

Still waiting for a jungle movie as good as THE RUINS though it truly was ingenious and superb!
