The ultimate monster film of the year so farBy M. Cunningham
- Movie Review - Picture provided by: www.imdb.com
It was almost realistic except for the fact that not even an experienced cameraman could have held onto a camcorder throughout all the series of events that transpired. What kept me on the edge of my seat was waiting to see what the "monster" looked like. It almost had too much character and not enough "monster." However, toward the end, the movie comes through and the audience gets what they're asking for. Before watching it, one almost has to worry if this will be another "Blair Witch Project." Thankfully, it was not. The fact that it has the look of being filmed on a camcorder does add a touch of realism and suspense. It also adds a feeling of motion sickness. Be sure to take some Dramamine to avoid nausea if prone to this condition. The ending leaves a little something to be desired but I'm assuming that is because the producers are open to the possibility of sequels. Overall, it was a decent movie. Probably best if seen in the theater because of sound and light effects that cannot usually be achieved at home. Just don't expect to be blown away by the plot. |
This movie has all the charm of classic "monster" movies with good effects and an element of suspense. One thing that could have been better is the first fifteen to twenty minutes of the movie. It's understandable for the writer to show character development, but it still leaves one with a nonchalant feeling for the people involved.
