Simply Perfect

Simply A Masterpiece

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I will add a short review to this one: This is a really nice example about how no to make a horror movie.PLUS: acting is surprisingly better than I expected; PLUS: they tried to add some depth to the main character by showing flashbacks; PLUS: some scenes are actually pretty exciting for people who are not used to watching horror movies. However, this is only in the beginning in the movie.PLUS: I liked watching the sexy actresses :P ; MINUS: all of the scenes end in an extremely predictable way; MINUS: all my favorite characters (as far as I had any) get killed; MINUS: it is very often not clear what is actually happening. This confused me so much that after a while I did no longer bother what was actually happening. They try to cover up too much with shadows. Shadows can do a lot of good, but only when used properly; MINUS: some characters seem to know more than you would normally expect. This is bad writing; MINUS: the camera crew was probably drunk while filming the action scenes; MINUS: the black guy carries a mysterious suitcase with him, but they never explain what is in it; MINUS: the tiny little flesh eating worms are never really explained. It's not clear what they are, just some kind of organic weapons or (what I thought of) offspring. They also looked too familiar to me; MINUS: the monster looks too familiar. They could have been more original. A low budget is no excuse for this.I like stop-motion animation so I didn't mind about the poorly animated monster. They should have added more frames. But then again, this is a low budget movie.

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.

In the desert area of Hat Creek, cows are found partially devoured and the farmers believe that a wolf is attacking the cattle. The alcoholic Sheriff Annie Flynn (Emmanuelle Vaugier) is called by the local farmer Rob Horn (M.C. Gainey) to witness the remains of an animal to request reimbursement from the government and for an accident with a tank truck that is blocking the road. However, Annie sooner discovers that an ancient alien creature sent to annihilate life on Earth hundreds of years ago was released by the Indian Kale (Luke Goss) during an archaeological excavation in the desert. The Indian Caya (Beau Garrett) and a group of travelers stranded in the spot without gas together with Annie and Kale try to find a means to destroy the alien and save mankind.Watching "Unearthed" is a waste of time, since the forgettable story is nothing but a collection of clichés. Most of the characters are unpleasant and non-charismatic and the lead character is actually the anti-heroine Annie Flynn that is a drunken sheriff tormented by the accidental death of an Indian girl. The scene of Caya and the alien creature is another ridiculous rip-off of the classic scene of "Alien" with Sigourney Weaver. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Aniquilação" ("Annihilation")

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.
