In the event that you may be bored out of your gourd, and are contemplating giving this movie a shot, please allow me to present a minor spoiler, a description of a random, sample scene from it.
The premise is that a group of astronomy students are on a sojourn to watch a rare meteor shower. The group is comprised of the usual horror movie tropes; we have the hot "good girl", the airhead bimbo "bad girl", the scholarly nerd, the "good guy" jock, and his bestest buddy, the "bad boy" jock.
Now, the "good guy" jock is dating the airhead bimbo, but he harbors a secret crush on the hot "good girl". His BFF, the "bad boy" jock, openly ogles and lusts after the airhead bimbo, which doesn't seem to particularly bother the "good guy" jock. The group breaks into an abandoned military base, having determined that this is the best place from which to view the celestial event.
After setting up camp, the group settles around a campfire, except for the airhead bimbo. She's a few feet away, doing her best stripper dance routine while chugging a beer. The scholarly nerd roasts a marshmallow, and after it goes alight, he accidentally flings it off of the stick he'd been roasting it on. The airheaded bimbo sees the flying, flaming marshmallow, and in her best airheaded bimbo voice innocently asks, "Is that the meteor shower?"
Shortly thereafter, our intrepid band encounters another clichéd, over-used horror movie character, the bedraggled, crazy old coot who warns them to just turn around and get out of there because of the monsters a'roaming them there hills. There is the added touch of having the crazy old coot dragging an empty leash and dog collar around, and he intersperses talking to his imaginary dog as he attempts to warn away the group of students. Of course, they don't listen, and they end up breaking into what appears to be an old military bunker, which once was a secret research center for clandestine experiments on soldiers... experiments that would turn them into unstoppable killing machines.
As you may have already surmised, the bunker is just chocked full of deranged, uncontrollable, mutated soldiers, and the usual terrible horror movie hijinks ensue, which include the students drinking shots of whiskey as they hike along, because that's what one does in an effort to witness and record astronomical events, isn't it? Get s**t-faced and record scientifically viable and accurate data?
Now, do you still want to put yourself through watching this rancid turd-fest?
