Great Film overall

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Unearthed has two strikes against it. The monster is an outright Alien rip-off complete with bad very CGI. They simply would have been better off not showing it.The other strike is for a film some seriously attractive actresses (Emmanuelle Vaugier, Beau Garrett, Miranda Bailey, Whitney Able, and heck even cute older Deborah Offner) there is no T and A. This seems silly for what is in essence an exploitation movie.Outside of those faults this is a better than average monster romp. Direction is tight and creative. The acting is professional. The film looks good. And the action scenes are filled with actual action.Anyone who has been tortured with the grade Z five guys vs. a cartoon films on the SciFi Channel will appreciate an above board effort.Good gore and great action make Unearthed a worth watching. Just wish they explored the sexual tension between the twenty-something lady sheriff and the twenty-something lady scientist.

I thought that the first half of the movie was well pretty good, it held my interest very well,, but then something odd happened,the story drifted away and lost me,, i became bored and couldn't actually wait for the movie to end.. yeah i know i shouldn't say that but well it's me and i gotta be honest,, this movie just didnd't cut it for me,, the monster come on,, not even close to original. looks like something out of AVP , i don't know the characters seemed lame , even Annie the drunked little hottie of a sheriff , this movie, the way the characters are presernts it 's like you don't even wanna root for them or care about them for that matter,, the writing i thought was very weak,, and overall this one was not very scary at all,, in fact a total disappointment if you ask me.

These scuzzball horror flicks share the same handful of shopworn techniques and stock characters. In this case, there are the dimly lit interiors and nocturnal exteriors, the cartoonish "urban" black guy, the cute but ditzy starlet-wannabe, the noble Native American, the don't-mess-with-me hardass, the alarmed scientist nobody listens to until it's too late, the "Alien" ripoff monster, the interminable and absolutely pointless conversations and creeping around cluttered sets -- and, last but not least, one character who's gone all guilty and depressed and alcoholic over some mistake he or she once made, and who, we have to admit, would probably be better off dead. In this movie, it's ***************SPOILER ALERT*************** the lady sheriff, whose flashbacks about the little girl she accidentally killed make it very clear that she will sacrifice herself in the end to kill the monster and save her friends. Which she does. The scientist and the ditzy blond survive, everyone else is killed. And most of the time when there's a sudden noise and everyone spins around and points their guns at it, it's just one of the other characters tripping over something. Also, I think it has something to do with nuclear testing (it takes place in New Mexico), so it's kind of a Godzilla movie underneath it all. There, now you don't have to see it.

I wanted to watch this, I really did. I like fearnetHD and even if some of the movies suck, I love the fact it exists at all so I give most of the movies they feature at least a chance.Horror movie...check. High def....check. Drunken half naked sheriff chick...check. I still turned it off 20 minutes in. The plot was nonsensical: The road into town blocked. OK....but the premise of the road being blocked is Charlie Murphy driving into town and going around the wreck that blocks the road. So if the wreck blocks the road...how did he get around it and why can't anyone else?Monster: SciFi channel at best. I remember when the SciFi channel made Farscape. They now make garbage movies. This movie reminds me of the later....onlyy worse.I wanted to like this...it was so bad I didn't bother.
