... View MoreThis is a rip off of the first Resident Evil movie but made on about a 1000th of the budget.Compared to a main-stream movie it is cheap, corny, predictable and a bit dull. But as mftv movies goes it is not that bad. The sets are well lit and work has gone into them (I still couldn't quite shake that shot in a studio feeling though), the acting is solid enough and the Nemesis character works well.The great thing about low budget movies is the writers and directors get a chance to go a little out the box and sometimes what emerges is a unique, innovative movie. Here they have stuck rigidly to a prescribed format and with all the talent and will in the world they could never hope to compete with the big boys.
... View MoreThis movie was probably one of the greatest disappointments among second level horror movies. I'm an avid fan of silly, made-for-TV horror movies, in particular those that deal with sharks or other ferocious animals but this movie showed an extreme desire for imaginative thought without the ability to put it all together in a style worthy of more than "2 out of 10".From the horrendous casting to the ridiculous overuse of special effects, this film consumed two hours of my life that I will never get back. This idea would've been much better off in the hands of a capable director and producer duo since the basic premise shows potential. Unfortunately, the damage has been done and now the idea is worthless for at least 20 years until due time for a possible remake.

View More"Warriors of Terra" is passable if not overly spectacular.**SPOILERS**Arriving at a test facility, Jade, (Andrea Lui) Ali, (Ellen Furey) Tim, (Dylan Taylor) Fix, (Andrew Hachey) and Izzy, (Krystin Pellerin) break in along with Chris, (Edward Furlong) a security guard, and immediately go to work protesting the place. Not finding the animals they came for, they comes across the facilities' SWAT team and are barely able to get away. Seeking refuge in the bowels of the building, they soon realize that the facility wasn't what they expected and soon find the SWAT team completely wasted. Raiding the company logs, they find that the company experimented a radical drug on a human, which caused them to mutate into a ravenous, dangerous creature loose in the facility. When it turns it's attention to the remaining group, they fight to contain it and get out alive.The Good News: This here wasn't all that bad when it mattered. The biggest factor for this one is the layout of the basement. This is a highly creepy design that is excellently used to generate an air of dread. Using a more boiler-room style feel, this has lots of steel mesh, metal pipes, dark corridors and hallways, and with steam ducts constantly blasting off, there's plenty of good suspense to be had from being there. The fact that the creature also makes an eerie noise off-screen just adds more to the creepy feel of being down there. The perpetual darkness and mystery about what is down there add even more suspense to the suspense to be had from being there. Most of the scenes down there work for the film. Another really creepy factor is the early scenes with the creature. They're not brilliant, but it has a slightly off-kilter feel that works for what's being attempted. What also works is that the film has a really healthy body count, topping out in the double-digits. Only one was really spectacular, where a victim begins bleeding on the face only from points where the creature touched, and eventually melts down to a pile of goo only from those places, but that there's a lot getting bumped off is a plus. Another nice plus is the final showdown on the platform. It's nicely creepy, delivers more on suspense than action but still has enough of both to make it satisfying and really does end on a good note. All these make it watchable.The Bad News: This here did have some pretty big errors at times. One of the biggest ones is that the editing is at times atrocious. This has a terrible tendency to do one of several errors during it's course. During attack scenes, it will either slow down to present everything in slow motion or it will skip a frame and jerk the screen for a brief flash, and it results in hurting the flow of the scene. The other big flaw with the editing is that the film has a tendency to fade to black at really inopportune moments. It's constant and manages to get quite annoying through it's repeated use. The other really big flaw is that, for all it's body count, there isn't a whole lot on-screen. This has a whole lot of off-screen or are done at screen but done to where it's impossible to tell what happened to them. This is a major complaint, as it really makes it feel a lot less bloody and gory that it really is, which really says a lot about it. While not a major flaw, the fact that the creature becomes completely nonthreatening due to familiarity. It's briefly glimpsed before, yet it's seen far too often at the end and it demystifies them far too much. Otherwise, this one wasn't that bad.The Final Verdict: This one isn't as bad as it could've been, but there's still some fundamental flaws with this one that really prevent it from taking off. If it sounds fun or are interested in this one, give it a shot, though those who have a healthy disregard for this would be well-advised to skip this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language
... View MoreThis one has a DVD jacket image shot that says to you Vampire bloodsucking Hag queen out to get you-- Boorahhh!I thought I was getting a grade C teen slasher monster flick-- it sure started off like a cheap production-- then it stopped being cheap. The Sets and the atmosphere are tense and dark. The dialogue is simple and to the point-- and fits hand in glove with the growing desperation of the characters. There's no cheesy music score-- only very well placed sound effects that almost, ALMOST seem like a score--and not a pleasant one at that. And the center of it all-- the girl. Just watch her move. She's not a girl. She's not a vampire. She's not some two-bit actor wannabe in corny slimy mutant make-up.She's Worse.She's utterly creepifying. Get your nachos ready. Tell your girlfriend to shut-up. Turn off your cellphone. Turn down the lights.Stop trying to be Siskel & Ebert. Just Watch it.This is what a Late Friday Night Movie is supposed to be.
