VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
vengeance20 Seen a trailer for this while watching another straight-to-DVD film some years back & thought the concept to be quiet interesting. I mean, I'm not a big fan of found footage, but this one grabbed me & I had to put it down on my watch list!The film is about a plane which crashes into a government testing facility due to turbulence experienced in the flight prior, to which we also learn that it is new years day! Of all days, this happens & the plane crashes in of all places on of all days! Typical, but hey! It works!Anyway, they crash, survive & happen to be in a government testing facility where these "creatures" lurk! Now through all the bitchin' & moaning you get in this film, the Blair Witch style of film comes in. Moaning, screaming, complain & bitchin' seems to dominate this film over 85% of the time. It gets on your nerves so much so that just want to get on with the film & get to the point.Although you see quick glimpses of the creature, or whatever it is, you don't see anything other than the group screaming & yelling 85% of the time, its annoying & then comes the end which wasn't too bad, but not much of a twist! It was actually disappointing! The effects of the dinosaur were terrible & simply unimaginative!Sadly , not great, despite its concept! 3/10
Lomedin I thought that, being some kind of fan of found footage movies, nothing could really let me down so much. Man, was I wrong.Here we have a film with no qualities whatsoever. At the beginning, I was happy to see a girl (Jess) who reminded me of a chick I went out with a few times ages ago (hey, Rosemary, hello if you are there!). I decided to try to cope with the EXTREMELY annoying mixture of nails running through a blackboard and forks scratching a plate that is the voice of the sister (Trisha). Boy, this -supposedly- 13 years old girl not only behaves like she's 8, but that bloody screeching thing she had for a voice... Jesus Christ. Anyway, at the very beginning, I found the actors natural enough and I thought "ok". Then, 5 minutes into the movie, I was starting to wonder why nothing is happening at all. After the movie goes on and the "actors" show their true colours of stereotypes and horrendous acting, I started to skip chunks by fast forwarding because NOTHING happens in this movie. There's a lot of unrelated talk, of walking around while they are at it, when they are not simply getting hysterical for no reason or repeating "shut up, Charlie". I could fast forward 5 minutes and they'd still be talking about the same (how my leg is hurting or how tired they are), still the camera focusing on their strides while they walk a dirty road. The whole movie is like that.In total, I'd say that, throughout the 1h 29sec of film, we get to see 5 seconds of blurry bad CGI (2 of them at the very end of the movie). And perhaps about 10 secs of (what is supposed to be?) scary noises (a mixture of lions in heat and dinosaurs with bowel problems). That's all there's to this movie. There's no terror, sense of dread, no real mystery or feeling of threat. SERIOUSLY. NONE. Not even a jack-in-the-box type of scare.At some points, I smiled or even laughed a couple of times because of the crap acting or ridiculous situations (which are suppose to be very serious and frightening).At some point, as well, I stopped thinking about that girl I used to know and forgot about hoping to see the actress showing her big bare bust (sorry, I had to focus on something during this garbage of a film, and like I said, she brought back memories of someone else) and simply hated her, like the rest of the people involved in this pathetic movie.I could almost say that, as an exception, the IMDb score is right. Although, on second thought, that's not correct. This movie deserves a much lower score. This movie is RIDICULOUS. Maybe your 5 years old child will find some amusement while wasting precious time instead of doing something more useful. Like, nothing. After all, that's what they do in this movie. Why would you watch a fiction when you or your toddler can experience firsthand the excitement of doing nothing? So, hey, if you are bored with your friends, grab a couple of cameras, go out there with some of them while some others hide in the bushes farting a couple of times for scary special effects, run a bit for 2 minutes screaming around and making crazy people noises while drooling, get some tomato sauce on your temples, stop and talk about the weather for 15 minutes and repeat. You can edit the film back at home and use any freeware to add some shitty visual effects for a fraction of a second here and there. You need to be no computer expert! And voilà. Oh, and remember, getting a chubby busty girl to do a topless might get you that extra point!..Although, you'd probably need more money to achieve that frontal nudity than the total budget for the entire piece of art.
SanteeFats First the first person video shooting sucked. I hated it. The acting was very bad. The dialog was even worse. Why would anyone make a movie this bad? Maybe they got paid no matter what. The crash scene was chaotic which is as it should be but if the little girl was injured who was filming that crap? Then there is the premise of Area 407-predators from hell that no one knows about. Give me a break, it would get out unless it was so isolated and guarded and there would still at least be rumors about it, if not an actual approximate location known by any locals that lived around the area. Did I mention I really, really hated the way it was filmed. What a moron that decided that.
nynemout42 Don't want to spoil a movie for anyone! The actors and actresses played great roles. There's complete closure at the end. Shot in first person video in present day. If you direct a movie that is supposed to be in present day, how about make the events believable and not silly. I didn't mind knowing what was after the people, but most of the events that unfold are outlandish. It's like a 10 year old directed the movie with the help of his dad! The first part of the movie takes FOREVER to unfold and once you're into the thick of things it is just plain disappointing. I usually stick with a movie no matter how bad it is to give it a fair shake. I did that with this one, but I came closer than ever to turning it off. You can watch it if you want, but just be prepared to lose interest, and be disappointed.
