Very derivative

Rating: 3/10 (3 February 2008)

This movie is a mix of several other films, including Blair Witch Project, Godzilla, and Alien. In fact, I found nothing original about it. In spite of it being short (90 minutes), because it's so formulaic, I found it a drag and I was looking at my watch after 45 minutes.
And it's a very old formula. Good-looking twenty-somethings run around a city being chased by something evil, make very bad decisions that imperil their safety, escape said peril through ludicrous good fortune... repeat for 60 minutes until end.
But the biggest disappointment is the complete lack of plot (beyond the trite: "I must save my girlfriend from this monster"). Seriously, there is no story here.
On the positive side, it is short. And I thought the monster was quite well done. And, I guess, 14 year-old boys will enjoy it.
Don't under-estimate the first advantage (the movie's brevity). You'll be very grateful. Believe me.
