A good story, but disconcerting

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2007)

Overall this wasn't a bad movie. The premise was decent, and the adversaries were scary but amusing. I enjoyed the way the mutants interacted with each other, such as during the rape scene, when Pluto tried to argue that Lizard would be unable to commit the act. Big Brain's speech seemed to leave me almost feeling sorry for the creatures, which is uncommon in horror films.
One thing that bothered me however is that the characters are given guns, and yet they can't seem to use them. It was sad to see the dad, who was apparently a cop, blatantly wasting ammo without actually acquiring a target. This would be someone who has been trained to keep cool in tense situations.
