Absolutely Brilliant!

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This mega-low-budget science fiction thriller delivers on many levels, but causes yawns on a few others. But let's not start this blurb with bitchiness - first, a plot recap. A space shuttle thing crashes in the desert stranding the two man crew, who are both convicts. Quite why criminals are being trusted as test pilots is never explained, I assume because they are expected to crash and burn. Literally. After a bit of running and gunning with post-apocalyptic desert scavenger types (and some truly impressive visual background effects), they enter a labyrinthine series of tunnels to complete a secret mission which will earn them a reduction of their sentences. The film is basically a two hander for the first three quarters of hour, with Ike Aaron Stielstra and Brendan Guy Murphy carrying the show on their own. Great work by both, though it was strange to see Stielstra playing a "normal guy" rather than his usual gurning, gibbering retard. Took me a while to acclimatise. Unfortunately, once the two enter the underground tunnel system after a promising first ten minutes, things bog down with a buttload of talk, complaining and interpersonal waffle. Like Thomas Magnum lost at sea, the film treads water for far too long and this viewer started getting a bit fidgety. The welcome arrival of the babelicious Kimberly Parmon and a truly horrifying villain kickstarts things again, and things get scary and messy leading to a rousing but slightly predictable ending. Though the film, upon geeky analysis, is a mishmash of bits and pieces from a few other sci-fi and horror classics, there is enough originality and effort involved to make this a commendable feature. Special credit to the costume department for a fine line in utilitarian futurism. Well worth watching, and not just for fans of dissonant film scores created on a melted Korg keyboard.

This movie considering its budget (none practically) and small work team is quite a technical accomplishment. The visual effects, sound effects, and overall sense of 'atmosphere' come together quite well on the screen to create a desolate, desert vision of the future. Also, the lead male is compelling and provides just enough character to fuel the sometimes clunky (and dragging) storyline.However, like other films of this caliber, the overall story development and acting tends to drag "The Men Who Fell" down into an amateurish production with little action. There were some points that remained unclear (the toys/chair/role of the Company..etc) and some plot lines that were completely unnecessary and trite (read: The Slayer). As for the acting, the strongest was by far the lead (kudos to the Demon too)... it is his crazed buddy and "the Slayer" who produce the bulk of the groan-inducing lines and stilted performances that remind viewers that they are definitely not viewing the work of professionals. That said, this film is worth a watch if you're looking to see ingenious set design and impressive special effects.

Lets get something straight. We're talking about a movie that was filmed with a DVX-100 camera in various locations within Tucson, AZ most of which was either in a warehouse or at home. The sound was done entirely in a garage; most all of the work behind the scenes was done by "count em" three people. The models, sets, & props were built by the director. The computer effects were done by the producer; and the costumes as well as the set dressing were done by the directors wife!! And oh yeah, the complete budget was a mere $20,000. By the way, the door sound wasn't lifted from Doom or any where else. I think it's pretty impressive.

I am not totally sure what this movie is about. It gives no real back story, the characters are undeveloped, and the reason why you should care about what they are doing is unclear. The movie might have been worth watching if they gave more information about what was going on, why a demon was summoned by "this company" and why these two guys were sent to find it.The effects were passable, however they weren't good enough to make up for the overall terribleness of the movie, and I am pretty sure they borrowed the door opening sound from the first Doom game and used it as a take-off sound for a ship.The only part of this movie that made it not a total waste of time was the good chuckle I had at some of the dialog, or when the plot started making even less sense then before (the dialog wasn't actually funny, it was just really terrible).
