Like a Godzilla movie as seen from the running villager's eyes

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2008)

The first thing that comes to mind is excellent casting for the group of people. By choosing relatively unknown people you didn't feel like you were watching a bunch of actors running from a monster, you felt like you were watching a bunch of people running from a monster. That made it really easy to get sucked in. Also, the choice of actor for Hud was great. He had a very distinct voice so you could always tell when he was talking which was good since he wasn't visible through most of the movie. The creature design was excellent, truly other-worldly, like nothing I've seen before. All in all I'd say this was a very successful and watchable monster movie.
