Interesteg What makes it different from others?
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
sreekanthvgood When i thought of watching it, i read the IMDb basic story line first. It was OK. The beginning few minutes of the movie was alright. But, what followed is totally lame. The script makes you ask so many questions on why the hell are they doing stupid things. Just for going on they act stupidly. It gets so boring after wards. I never fast forward any movie. God! I did it in this movie. And the ending, as expected. Such a waste of time.There are many low-budget movies which are taken so well. This is definitely not one of those. I don't know what to say, don't watch it.Final verdict : Ignore this. People who say that this movie is great, i don't know what to say about it. Watch it or Miss it? Definitely go for the latter option.
GL84 Following the daily shift, a team of commandos enters and overtakes a supermarket looking for the one employee infected by an alien parasite that will soon infect the world and try to stop the creature when it escapes and runs rampant across the store.This is an extremely disappointing and underwhelming effort, this one just doesn't have enough to keep itself going at all, with the first half built around the team's mysterious reasons for being there, the curious actions they undertake with the people there and efforts to keep everything contained inside as the hostages begin grumbling and thinking of their motives. That nothing is ever given until the thirty minute mark, which is just a passing line in dialog and not an actual explanation just makes it all the more frustrating, and it makes this section of the film so hard to get into. That it's also nearly an hour long before the alien first appears doesn't help at all, mainly due to the lack of information given which makes all the actions taken difficult to grasp and understand and making it all the harder to get into the film and care. That the last part of the film is decent enough with a couple decent stalking scenes and some bloodletting in the kills is nice and good, but it can't make up for the flawed beginning.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
Matt Kracht I can understand why some people liked this movie. It's a familiar story, with familiar characters, all of whom speak in stock phrases that we've heard a million times before in countless B movies. Everything in this movie is ripped off from a 1980s scifi movie. In fact, one could even call it a pastiche of John Carpenter movies. If you're a big Carpenter fan, then you might have some fun recognizing which of his movies are being ripped off, from scene to scene.Overall, it's not a bad movie, though I'd have difficulty recommending it to anyone looking for originality or creativity. Instead, try Splinter (2008) or Pontypool (2009).
Ben Larson Not bad for an indie. Despite the low budget, it did have a good story and the action was consistently present throughout. It never drug. My only complaint was the lighting, which is consistently bad in most indies.They didn't waste money on actors; mostly ex-soap stars who played on films like "24" and "Prison Break" or "Sons of Anarchy." Needless to say names like Carlos Bernard, Mathew St. Patrick, or Rockmond Dunbar are strangers to me.The monster was kind of cheesy, but FX is not often in the budget of films like this.At least it had Courtney Ford from "True Blood." She added something special.
