I love monster movies but not this one. It is more of an indie flick with a monster thrown in for thrills and that is definitely not the same. Anyone watching this movie would wish they had seen Clover Field instead. This is the longest and most difficult movie to watch with a dry script, cheesy romantic suggestions and cameo appearance of a squid monster with legs.
To sum it all up, like how my friend described it, the movie is a monstrosity. The plot revolves around a girl and a guy looking for a way home while a slow moving beast is on the loose. Other than that there is nothing much else going on.
Maybe my expectation was way too high as I wanted to see some fantastic bloodthirsty creature with a vengeance on a rampage. I was hoping against hope that there might be a twist, a salvation for this sluggish and mind numbing story to pull it out of the doldrums even if lasted only 5 minutes. But the last 5 minutes was such an anti climax I felt cheated by the title, the genre, the reviews and the whole shebang. I frankly don't know why everyone is making such a big hype about this movie. There are definitely better monster movies than this. Here are some of the best:
- The Mist 2007
- The Day of the Triffids 1962
- Little Shop of Horrors 1985
- The Blob 1958
- Pitch Black 2000
- The Thing 1982
- Tremors 1990
- The Host 2006
- Predator 1987
- Alien 1979
- King Kong 1933 & 2005
- The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad 1958
- The Golden Voyage of Sinbad 1974
- Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger 1977
- Clash of the Titans 1981
- Jason and the Argonauts 1963
But then again this movie was made with a budget of about $15000, so is it justified?
4/10
