Such a frustrating disappointment
Simply Perfect
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
How many times have we been down this path before? This low-budget production is a basic run-of-the-mill monster on the loose in some backwoods. A demonic creature (of negative energy) from Native American Indian folklore. But you can't argue that it doesn't deliver what it achieves to do. However it's not particularly exciting in its durably slick execution, despite sensational location choices and the best efforts from its dependably committed cast. I had a hard time believing the very beautiful Cerina Vincent in the lead role as a park ranger, but that's not taking anything away from her performance because she does carry the film. Her character is a complex one, albeit rather clichéd in that she's exorcising her own demons and drowning her sorrows with alcohol. Her boyfriend ranger is played by Dominic Zaprogna and he brings a confident likability to the role. For comedy relief a talking exotic parrot is chucked in. While it can labour a bit, there are some eventful moments of suspense with the creature toying with its victims (mainly at the back-end involving Vincent's character) and when it decides to finish the job it does leave a bloody splatter with jolts few and far. Some instances seem laughable though. The camera-work has numerous monster POV shots and that frenetic hand held photography shows up. The monster FX is decently captured and does look impressive when we see it in full sight. Standard, but modest creature-feature entertainment. "If its coming after me. How do I kill it. "
I would have to say this movie was a brilliant horror movie to be counted as an independent film, the script was great and i cant forget about the actors including Cerina Vincent who has to deal with all these inner demons haunting her from the past and this flesh eating native American beast that is hunting and stalking her. And the acting was great you have to like this movie even though it doesn't have buckets of gore you could still have a strong stomach while watching the kills. Its a great horror movie and besides Hot actress Cerina Vincent is in it. The movie does deserve a 10 out of 10 because its a type of horror movie that has mixes of horror and drama in between the movie that makes you want to keep watching and to see what happens to the lead character.
Poor Danielle (Cerina Vincent). While she waits to return to the house on Haunted Hill, she is stuck in a ranger tower in the woods of British Columbia. Maybe she can pass the time with that weed they are famous for up there.But no, she takes solace in a bottle of vodka and agonizes about driving drunk and killing her friend. In the meantime, there is an alien-like creature stalking the wood killing people.We get lots of screaming and heavy breathing from Danielle while the creature attacks her. But It never kills her as it does every other person. Why? Who knows? The best aspect of this film is the scenery. I have to admit that it was absolutely beautiful. But, I wanted a horror movie, not a nature film.
Better than average low budget horror movie from the Sci-Fi channel.It's a good cat-and-mouse yarn in the vein of Jeepers Creepers, with the creature "feeding on" the terror of its prey before finishing them off. The two principals characters are developed pretty well, giving a clear notion of what the creature's obsession is with its intended victim. That would be a park ranger named Danielle (Cerina Vincent, who carries the film well), stationed at a secluded area of an unnamed national park (based on dialog, it's apparently the Grand Canyon area).Danielle's angst, fear, suffering, and her resolve to turn the tables on her tormentor are all portrayed well, as is her pivotal back story. These tie in very well with what we learn about the monster. Further, the director wisely resists temptation to reveal what the thing looks like until near the end, which makes it all the more terrifying. It could strike at any moment, and often does, only seen in fleeting glances, partially hidden from view.About the only pitfalls are the goofy boss ranger and the obnoxious lost hikers with "Monster meal" tattooed on their foreheads. Also, there's a predictable lingering question mark left open at the end. Not a sensational movie, but worth a watch.
