Possibly one of the greatest wastes of time and 8 dollars this year

Rating: 2/10 (17 August 2006)

OK, i was thoroughly angry at the end of this debauchery. first of all, the ending made no sense, they just stopped the movie when it could've actually gotten good. second of all, the first 30-45 minutes of the film have practically no relevance to the rest of it. at the outset (after the first 15 minutes), i expected a real neat story with some surreal twists and turns and some profound meaning/ outcome. sadly, what i found out after an excruciating and repetitive 2 hours was that the first 45 minutes of the movie in no way effected the remainder of it. it seemed to be random filler (although it had good potential if it had some better writing). and another thing, the "crawlers" seemed to have no trouble taking down a full-grown moose or bear, but for some reason couldn't quite handle the physical force of a 95-pound Asian woman. after about 8 times, i got sick of the same method of killing them with a pick-axe through the skull. and lastly, the special effects and digital imagery were blatantly half-assed. so basically, i left the theater disappointed whole-heartedly. what should have been an edge-of-your-seat horror by the looks of the trailers and beginning of the movie, yielded nothing more than a few cheap laughs between me and my buddies regarding the film's credits and how morgan freeman could have made it a decent movie with no more than a simple cameo. i mean, the least they could've done was add a simple topless scene. i mean, the whole cast consisted of like 6 women; throw a bone to the guys in the audience who wasted 8 dollars to see the thing, or worse $16 if they had a date. don't see this movie. anyone who says otherwise is a moron.
