Fresh and Exciting

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Best movie of this year hands down!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

An unknown creature terrorizes an archaeological dig in the middle of a desolate New Mexico town.Some have compared this film to a SyFy movie, and that is probably about right. Although it is not terrible, it ultimately adds up to not quite the movie they were clearly aiming for. This is due in no small part to the CGI. Not only because the CGI is flawed (as it almost always is), but because the creature was so obviously inspired by "Alien" that it is hard to give them much credit for originality.There do seem to be some practical effects, and those are actually quite nice. Not enough to redeem the film, but worth singling out. A pumping heart looks great, and the leech-like creations are not bad. No one will ever put this film on their must-see list, but the effects crew should definitely keep working.

Re: The "review" by inkslug"Unearthed" is not better than other reviewers would have you believe. It's worse. It's a piece of offal and that's all the comment it deserves. FYI, Ray Harryhausen is an acknowledged genius and his special effects for the original "Jason And The Argonauts" are some of the most brilliant in the history of film. Your epically stupid, staggeringly wrong statement regarding them is a frightening insight into your profound and heartbreaking lack of taste. Stick to things like "Unearthed" and don't bother with genuinely great films like "Jason And The Argonauts". It's clearly pearls before swine and you only embarrass yourself. I know I'm embarrassed for you.

In 2004, director Matthew Leutwyler's first feature 'Dead & Breakfast' received praise for some circles; none of which included me. Unfortunately three years on and while at least he's moved away from rubbish zombie films; he has unfortunately gone on to rubbish sci-fi/horror films, and this desert-set rendition of Alien is just that. It's a shame that this film is so terrible because the plot actually sounds like it could turn into something quite decent. The film takes place in New Mexico and focuses on a small town. A bunch of cows have been found dead and naturally the local farmers believe that a wolf is to blame. The farmers send for a Sheriff to deal with that, and a big truck accident that's blocking the road...but things take a turn for the unexpected when the Sheriff discovers that there's been an archaeological dig in the area, and that an Indian has accidentally released a giant CGI alien creature into the town. Then a bunch of people end up getting stuck and the alien picks them all off one by one.OK, so let's break it down. Acting - terrible, special effects - terrible, plot - clichéd, death scenes - routine...so it really doesn't have all that much going for it. Emmanuelle Vaugier is the lead actress and she's very good looking, but doesn't have enough about her to carry the film. Luke Goss, one half of the awful eighties pop group 'Bros' also appears in the film (luckily, the other half isn't in it, and even luckier is the fact that he doesn't sing). The plot is turgid and uninteresting and basically gives us a little bit of info, followed by a death scene, followed by a bit more info. The central creature doesn't appear all that often - and that's really a good thing because it when it does appear, it's just disappointing CGI nonsense. The action sequences are no good either, mainly because director Matthew Leutwyler has opted for the MTv style quick cuts that never fail to ruin a movie (even, it would appear, one that is already ruined). Overall, this is a dreary and boring horror film that definitely isn't recommended.

Well, it's not a Hollywood blockbuster, so, really, think that when you see this film. It's just a dumb creature feature and thats all it's gonna be. The acting is gonna be hammy, the effects are gonna be rubbish,it's gonna be pants, but I watched it all the way through, and found it entertaining. It's music was fairly effective, electronic music aways seems to affect me more then big orchestra's and rocky tracks, it reminded me of the old 70's Grindhouse films. Gore wise, it's good, very nasty deaths, and some I found quite funny too.Overall, an okay film, not Oscar worthy, so don't treat it like it is, I enjoyed it more taking it as a low budget creature feature.
