Another really really weak horror/monster movie

Rating: 2/10 (1 December 2009)

I'm so sick of horror movies that kill characters based on their perceived "moral" standing. Extremely good or extremely evil, either way you're a goner! Throughout this type of film there is a sensed god that is making these decisions based on some imperceptible right-or-wrong doing of the doomed characters. What did they do to deserve their horrific ends? The biggest teller is always when 2 relatively young people make out. It's a sure sign that the girl is gonna get hers in the next scene! And the ending! Yowsa! We are somehow supposed to feel horror at the fact that this poor loser just killed his own son and 3 other friends to keep them from dying at the tentacles of some alien creature (and frankly not that much worse of a death), come to find out he didn't have to? If this truly had happened, how long do you suppose the idiot would have spent yelling at the side of his car before he grabbed one of the soldier's weapons and offed himself? Maybe another 3 seconds? Shouldn't that have been the real end of the movie? Yet considering the perceived "morality" of the writer in choosing who dies and when in this movie, what is the lesson learned? If you're surrounded by evil, do absolutely nothing and you should be OK. Morally bankrupt!
