1/10
Terrible, terrible, terrible...enough said.

This had to be one of the worse movies I have ever seen. The ending positively sucked. And what came before it was trite and filled with a weak story-line and bad acting.

I never thought I'd say this, but the best actor in the film (besides the CGI monsters) was the guy that played Riley in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The heroine they chose was this annoying little actress that remained wooden in all but the most dramatic of scenes. And not to be too superficial, but she looked like the poor man's Calista Flockhart. No wonder she couldn't fend off the monsters: eat some Wheaties lady!

Save yourself a few bucks and pass this one up at the video counter. Trust me, it's a boring ride filled with tons of questions and no answers. It told absolutely no "story", which in hindsight was a good thing...otherwise the ending would have really pissed me off. But since I didn't know what the heck was happening anyways, it didn't leave me with a big empty feeling or mad. Nothing gets resolved and nothing makes sense. You don't know what the monsters are, where they come from, what they want with the characters: nothing, nada, moot. The idea that they were eating the characters is ridiculous b/c why would they limit themselves to those particular morsels...not to mention that the main chick looked like she had about 1% of body fat on her entire body. It'd be like eating rattlesnake for dinner and trying to get that full feeling.

Reminded me a lot of the Blair Witch Project 2: Waste of time and waste of money.
