Okay...but as good as the critics imply

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2006)

I originally thought this would be better than "Saw", and other gory flicks. I also thought this was similar to "Aliens" since that's what I read on many review sites. In reality, the movie was interesting, because the cast was largely unknown to me, and was creepy, because the script kept me wondering: what's going to happen next? Yet, once you saw the "monsters" (which I affectionately refer to as: Cannabalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers (C.H.U.D)....Hello! Already been done!!) the appeal and "reality" of the movie became far-fetched. After the movie, my movie companion and I had many questions about the plot, etc. Usually it is easy for me to suspend belief, if the acting etc. is in place. In this movie, I became disillusioned and disappointed. Still, if you like movies like "Blair Witch" and Sci-Fi thrillers, than this movie is right up your alley.
