The Chick Predator

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2006)

This movie is marketed as the next Alien- but I think that sets people up for disappointment. It isn't a large scale, science fiction film. It is predator, baby.
But instead of muscular, militia men- you get a bunch of chicks together who go cave diving and it unfolds into a beautifully simple horror movie.
The characters, the dialogue, the monsters, the development- it is all so bad ass! Everything worked perfectly for me. Although, I think I was the only one that got that the exotic chick, the second to last survivor, was having an affair with the main character's husband. Not really a spoiler- but definitely subtle.
The monster were pretty cool, as well. They were still organic, not superhuman like Predator. I never thought about how vampires got their sexual reputation- when they go for the jugular, you have to get pretty close. Even when you are a nasty, pale, bat-like freak- you still have to hold the head just so, and fit your mouth around a chick's neck.
Undeniably a good movie!
