I gave this movie a chance. I have to admit I went into it expecting it to suck, so maybe my lowered expectation had something to do with it, but the movie starts off like many others describing the disaster, we meet the survivors and meet Seagal and his crew. We cut between the survivors and the hunters until they meet up. This was actually better than many of the film's he's been in.
Much of the issue comes from Seagal being part of an ensemble cast. While he got a lot of the spotlight, the film simply wasn't about him. While he is billed as a lead to help sell the film there's a lot more going on here.
So I'm going to give this movie a 7. As an action horror film it was pretty good. Wasn't on the level of some, but it was good. And the creatures are cool too, they're like a mix of vampire and zombie. Seagal and his team do kick a lot of butt, so that can't be the reason as to why so many people hate on this film. I will admit Seagal didn't do a ton of Akido, but the fight scenes are still pretty good.
