All you need is love

Rating: 7/10 (4 August 2002)

Strip this movie down, and what do you have? A poorly written monster movie, but a nicely conceived love story. As far as the "monster"/ alien plot goes, George Romero had it right 30 years ago. When monster/alien/zombies attact rural Pennsylvania, Bubba comes out wearing his flannel & orange hunting vest, sipping on an Iron/Yulie, picking them off one at a time with his high powered hunting rifle. Where this movie works is the loss and refinding of love & faith. Without giving too much away, this film has fine acting by all participants( except the inept aliens), and is handsomly directed. It's worth a watch, but don't expect a thrill ride a la "Alien".
