I'm a fan of monster movies, and sci-fi in general. That being said, the only reason to see this movie is Siri Baruc. She is easy on the eyes and brings some energy to her part. She does the best she can with such a lousy script. Stella Stevens steals every scene she is in, thanks to her own initiative I'm sure. She should work more often. I give C. Thomas Howell an OK as the heroic male lead with the troubled past.
The rest of the cast are more like generic stereotypes of characters, than actual people. Some of them have laughable moments, but you are never sure if the humor is intentional or due to ineptness on part of the production team.
It's a toss-up as to which is worse, the script or the direction. The props and effects aren't very realistic, which is OK as I wasn't expecting much from them given all the other issues with this film.
I got the feeling that they didn't even have permission to be in this building and just found one that was unlocked on some holiday weekend when most everyone was out of town.
The whole "photo shoot" subplot felt like footage from a different movie, and could have been until a few scenes near the end. All the other scenes could've been filmed at any shopping center in the US or Canada.
FYI: For those of you with a high heel fetish, you'll like this movie for the numerous close ups of women's high heels and several references to them during the movie. Siri and Stella at their best.
I could break down individual scenes and what was wrong with them, but I just don't have the strength.
I feel embarrassed to know this much about this movie. If I wasn't a fan of Siri's work, I'm sure that one viewing would've been enough.
Watch it if you like campy sci-fi and cheesy monster movies, as I do. Skip this movie if you are a realist, have a strong attention to detail or get annoyed easily.
