very good movie, especially the special effects

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2007)

A very enjoyable movie. A must-see for fans of science fiction, horror, the breakdown of society, or any combination of the above.To quote the director "Its 'Lord of the Flies' with some monsters thrown in". The acting falters for a bit, but overall is very strong. The special effects are amazing, and can easily rival the effects of movies that cost 6 or 7 times as much. The major issue I have with the movie is its ending. And by that, I literally mean the end: not the last third or fourth of the film, but the very last 5 minutes. It seems like it was drawn up at the last minute with the purpose of only shocking the audience, and is a very unsatisfying end to an otherwise amazing movie.
