I typically have a rule where as I don't watch any movie that gets a fan rating of less than five on Imdb. This movie hovered at 4.9 so I thought it was close enough. Darn. That logic did not pay off.

Low production, bad acting (though I did slightly enjoy the character with the frizzy blonde hair sporting the greatest american hero look), slow, meandering, and like watching a video in Slo-mo. Where every frame is torture while you wait for the punchline of why you even filmed in Slo mo.

First of all, an alien lifeform that needs a host to do its thing, taking up refuge in the middle of the mountains where only one human comes by every hundred years is not very... Intelligent.

Second of all if you touch some strange alien bubble with your bare hand and go out of your way to take off your glove so that your flesh can touch it you pretty much deserve what you get.

Third, if you touch the alien bubble and then your finger becomes necrotic within the matter of an hour it's probably best to leave the mountains and go right to the ER.

Yes this was among one of the dumbest least pleasurable movies that I ever stood witness to in my 48 years. To be fair though I try to avoid movies with less than a 5.0 rating on IMDb as I've already stated so I guess I was asking for it. Henceforth, I don't have a lot of movies in the less than 5.0 rating Spectrum to compare this to. If I did I'm quite sure it may rate a little higher because there's a lot of dumb crap out there to watch. Thankfully I avoid most of it due to my extreme filtering process.

My advice is to filter this one out or watch it when you're really drunk so that you pass out immediately.
