Neo-classic creature feature

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2004)

While there is very little science in this science fiction/action/horror flick, it is one of the better monster/alien movies out there. As a neo-classic, it is a classic out of the "classic" period, which generates the same kind of loyalty as does a "true" classic.
Riveting portrayals, realistic enactments within the most suspenseful setting I've ever experienced, and cast perfectly, this is one for the collection, regardless of your tastes.
This movie relies heavily on the unknown. It leads you down a jungle-dark path into oblivion. It shoves you, step by step, into the awaiting maw of the enemy and only slowly begins to let you see what you are up against.
Excellent direction which makes you live the experience of being hunted, marks and colors this production in such a way as to endear it to the audiences for all time. It keeps you glued to the screen until the final sequences play themselves through.
I rate it a rousing 9/10.
