User Reviews

I'm not often writing reviews for IMDb, but since this movie is so high rated, I feel it's my duty to write something down as well.

This movie is the kind of thing you should see on television, interrupted by commercials, zapping to MTV and Jerry springer, or toilet breaks. As long as you're not trying to follow a story, this movie might be alright. But if you want to follow a story, just skip this one.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a 'terrible' movie, but it is 'terrible mediocre'. It's predictable, cheesy, shallow and amateuristic. The conversations feel unnatural and a lot of the made decisions are illogical. It annoys me when a group of people rather keeps screaming at each other than look for a constructive solution. It annoys me when somebody takes a tinkle right where an alien was blown up, while it is not sure at all whether the alien has died. It annoys me when his friends keep telling him how displeased they are with this stupid action, without looking out for the alien. It annoys me when a group of people decides to kill the alien and then don't kill the alien, but run away for his cripple, burnt remains. It annoys me when a girl shows her breasts and the camera moves up, if you're not going to show her breasts, then why would you put this in the script?

I think people should make movies out of creativity, not to just keep the industry working. I would give this thing 4 point, but since it has such high ratings, I give it a 1. Just for balance.

I'm really not sure why this is currently clocking 8.3. I think people are having a bit a laugh. Don't get suckered in like I did on the premise it might be a hidden gem.

The setting is laid with scenes which rely heavily on scantily clad girls jiggling. The dialogue is appalling and the attempt to cement the characters as COOL is definitely going to irritate you.

When the monster action starts there are a succession of encounter scenes which simply beggar belief. Family camcorder special effects and sound effects straight from the Acme company aren't helped by a ridiculous Styrofoam alien wearing a fisherman outfit. Thankfully the cast seem too busy with the trivial aspects of their predicament to worry about the monster.

Some of the action scenes are so bad the film actually runs quite close to martyrdom as a trash movie classic but the ponderous dialogue bogs it down . You'll watch it and want it to be just that little bit more stupid so you can laugh along but it's just a boring cheap & nasty schedule filler.

It deserves a mention for the speed at which it's gone 'straight to video' but in fairness it should never have been released.

This movie was so stupid. Unbelievably horrible. CGI was extremely cheap and acting was totally lame.

Stupid alien looked a bit scary on first sight, but they repeated closeup scenes of that rubber mask very often so it just got boring. That alien was so slow during whole movie, but at the end it jumps like a whitetail deer. Also scene where alien sticked axe handle into his cutoff arm was ridiculous. It reminded me Planet terror. It was like "ROAR, I'm ugly big alien and I will slice you into pieces with my artificial axehand!" :D

The guy in with red ribbon on his head was absolutely stupid douche-bag, his role was irritating and he died first, I think director cannot stand that person too. What a moron, nobody liked him anyway, he deserved it. He just blew up two of those 4wheeled motorcycles (dunno how its called in English), and then during argue said "just shut up, I apologized for that".

Girl in white shirt deserved few face-slaps, her reactions to everything what happened freaked me out.

Everyone of these young people made so stupid decisions, like let's kill that alien from your nightmares with javelin to make you sleep peacefully again. Or let's connect these 2 old cellphones with couple of red wires to create remotely controlled bomb because alien does not like UV rays. They also ran from camp and came right back so many times ...it just made no sense.

...And whole story about abducted uncle.... just no comment.

Well I guess the other people rated it as a low budget flick. I'm rating it as a movie in general.

First thing noticed were the low quality graphics. The alien chip looks like it came out of a game anno 1995 or something. Same can be said for all the airborne vehicles.

Then there was the acting. Didn't seem like the people involved were actors but simply a group of friends coming together trying to make a horror movie. Lot of staring not really knowing what face to pull, lot of exaggerated jelling and screaming.

The alien intelligent enough to build and fly a spaceship covering at least 4 light-years is running around growling and cutting up people with knife like tools. At times it seemed like someone with a muscle disorder was trying to cut some meat. Made no sense to cut there where cutting was done.

If I had gone watch this in a theater I probably would have walked out and demanded my money back. Especially with a 6+ star rating.

Note: I checked the 'spoiler' thing just in case but believe me, there's nothing to spoil.

So, there's a kind of 90 second introduction before the opening credits. It paints an abundantly clear picture that this is gonna be a really bad movie. If after the first 90 seconds you think that this could somehow turn into a decent movie, you must be either from the past, or out of your mind.

After the credits we see a bunch of American kids on some trip. Never mind the details like why or where because clearly this movie wasn't made to make sense. Having seen the intro, it's no surprise all the dialogue is hopelessly stupid. I don't know how old these kids are supposed to be - they look like 25 but act like 14 with brain damage. At this point I'm thinking this movie might actually be funny because of how stupid it is. Well, I was right, but it gets dumber by the minute, and in the end it's a bit too boring to be funny anymore.

Let's move on to paint a bit more of the picture. We get two military guys investigating a corpse... or at least I think that's the idea. They look like 2 actors whose script says "you're investigating a corpse," but they have no idea what that means, so they're just standing around looking dumb. As they're standing there, in their military uniforms with their military helmets next to their military jeep and a big sign that says U.S.A.F., one of the kids identifies them as "the cops." That was pretty funny. I didn't see that level of stupidity coming. To save the day comes a blonde chick who explains to the dumb lot that those obviously military guys are the military. Well what do you know, only 7 minutes into the movie and already this amusing. But that's about the peak of it.

Quickly enters another blondie who shows her breasts because one of the guys asks for it. Uhmm.... OK, they're Americans, so I try not to think too much about that one. And then I try not to think too much about the rest of the movie, which consists mostly of incredibly dumb arguments among the kids (like who's whose girlfriend and who's to blame for whatever's happening), very poor visual effects right out of the early 80's, and a pointless storyline that reaches a new level of absurdity when one of the guys starts telling a story about his uncle. But at least you learn about this Hunter called "The Catcher." Very inventive.

This is not the kind of movie where you speculate about whether the characters behave rationally or even realistically or not. They don't. You can see that. It's not up for debate. This is the kind of movie where you don't care who gets killed, because all the characters are so dumb that for all you care they can all get killed 10 minutes into the movie and get it over with. It would save you a whole hour of really bad "entertainment." If this was made in 1979, I'd give it 4 points. It being 2009, it gets 2. And one of those 2 is only because at times it was actually funny. Oh wait, was this supposed to be a horror movie? Ooops. For something to be scary it has to be at least a little bit realistic. This is about as realistic as a two-headed Yeti in your closet munching on your snack that it stole from the fridge.

One more thing. At some point I actually had one scary thought - if people in the US are actually as dumb as the characters in this movie, we're all really doomed.

This movie is not recommended to anyone who managed to read this review in less than 2 days without needing a dictionary.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting was horrible, even if they had someone like Devon. I was surprised to see someone I recognized in this cheesy film, I didn't think they'd have the budget for even him.

The sound guy had to be drunk as things get cut off such as speech, a very important part to movies. You can see the people talking, but no words are heard ... what did I miss??? Probably not much considering how bad this movie was.

The special FX were cheap to be sure, but the cheesy use of the animatronic alien was deplorable ... overuse of the closeup of this bug-like beast's teeth doing the same sneer over and over reminded me of a bad video game from the 90's.

The ATV scenes were a joke, you could tell they weren't moving in a few scenes and then you get a scene where they stop the dune buggy and then you can almost hear the director shout "Act afraid!"

Just a bad movie all around.

This is the exact type of movie that makes you want to take a hammer to your privates because that would be a less excruciating experience. I have to admit that I really couldn't make it through the whole thing. The alien or monster looked like someone bought it off the toy shelf at Target and just stuck it on some human "actor." Eventually, you really feel sorry for all of the actors in the film. It's as if there was no script at all and they took a bunch of sixth grade drama students and told them to just improvise until their characters are killed off which they do by constantly talking about who they think is hot in the group or swearing. And every once in a while until they're killed off they just get into a random fist fight just to create some motion on the screen or some female dances "sexy" in the middle of an Air Force bombing range by a campfire. It sounds from the above as if this could be semi-entertaining as in shockingly bad but funny. It's not even that. It's one of those movies that angers you for wasting $1 at the Redbox movie stand at the grocery store on this chunk of garbage and even more importantly wasting your time until you do yourself a favor and turn it off. Oh, and the positive reviews for this are fake--somebody connected to the movie. That's really a poor use of this site.

Firstly, this being my first review on the site, I must say that many months ago I made a pact, a pact that if I ever were to register on IMDb, I would review this title. I am now making good on the promise I made myself so very, very long ago...

I give this movie a well-deserving 10/10. Now don't get me wrong, this movie is horrible. Absolutely terrible, actually. Alas, it is the most entertaining piece of garbage I've ever happened upon by accident.

From start to finish, I was entertained. This movie encompasses everything that makes a B-movie excellent. If you wanted to watch a piece that makes you introspective and weepy eyed, there are plenty of movies that can do that for you. This is not one of them.

Each scene is knowingly unbelievable, and that's what makes the film reach greatness. The actors act. Keyword "act". They know this is a B-horror, and that means that it isn't supposed to be scary, or realistic. It's just supposed to be cool, which this is. What's not to like? Babes, cheesy one-liners, creature costume effects 50% of monster screen time, and epically lame CGI effects the other 50 percent.

The movie had me laughing out loud, often scoffing at, but secretly admiring the lovely rubbish that this movie is.

In short, I liked it, I can see how it won't be many peoples cup of tea. This is a light-hearted old school horror worth watching if you enjoy that kind of thing, not to be taken seriously at all.

One last thing, anyone comparing this to being a 'Predator' rip-off is clearly unfamiliar with the 'Predator' franchise. This movie has as much in common with the above mentioned as any typical "man-in-a-monster-suit" flick.

Thanks for reading.

A number of young adults head out into a get away weekend near an Air Force test base. Andrew has nightmares. They decide to confront his nightmares head on with a camping trip. (Just what Mom would have us do when we had bad dreams- make us sleep outside.) As it turns out, his dream about a creature, a combination of Predator and Darth Maul (black hoodie optional), comes true as his friends become hunted. There are some internal conflicts within the group to add to the spice of the film...or not as the case may be.

The special effects were low budget, but not the worst aspect of the film. The horrible dialouge and general plot far out weigh any problems with CG effects. In one weird scene a young lady lifts her top for "inspiration" while the camera man pans her bar midriff...um guys...have you ever watched a horror movie before?

This is one film I would have liked more if everyone died. And for the record, Einstein never predicted time travel.
