A nature field researcher is investigating the strange extinction of small animals and insects in the area, which indicates that something is wrong. His suspicions are soon to be proven right when he meets May, who lives in a cabin in the forest nearby. May says that her house is infested by small creatures that she thinks are mice or rats. When the couple search the house further, they notice that they're not rodents or insects. They are fast evolving lizards that have the appetite for animals and humans, no matter what size their prey are...

Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
ViirinSoftworks Does the movie have problems? Yes, but I happily ignore them every time I've watched, which has to be more than 20 times now. I love creature feature movies, and I love monsters that evolve as the movie goes on, so I'm probably biased. Hey, I'm always a Blue Mage in Final Fantasy games when possible, so go figure. I loved the movie so much in fact, that it inspired me to make a role playing game where you got to be one of the creatures, though I also expanded it significantly. The role play has run since 2009 (currently the game is on the Escapist and that started in 2011), and seems to be more popular than the movie itself. I thought that instead of starting off as lizards, they'd start as slimes, but as the geckos evolve as they eat other living things, the slimes would do the same. Instead of ending up as geckos, they'd end up as dragons. So, all in all, I loved this movie. If you're able to watch for enjoyment sake and looking at the high concept and not the presentation, then you won't find many movies more fun than this in the same genre except maybe Mimic or The Relic.
NYYfanlife90 Without saying much to this piece of crap film. I will say that this film has terrible and at the MOST mediocre acting. There are more plot holes than swiss cheese and i mean a lot! The lizards looked fake as hell and this movie came out in 1997? That must be a mistake cause the effects sucked so bad that I find it hard to believe it isn't a movie from the 60's. And it's like throughout the movie they didn't care at all. They stopped for about 10 minutes to rest and than find out more are/were coming. You don't do that in a horror film. In conclusion, save yourself 3-5 bucks at blockbuster and skip this film when needed cause it certainly ain't worth your time. It's one of the worst movies i've ever seen and i watch a lot of movies, especially horror and for me to say that it sucks, it's just about true. Even the ending of the movie made no sense, ahhhh forget it just don't watch this film at all even if u catch it on sci-fi.
Theshapeshifter This movie is about as scary as a Disney movie. With plenty of gore and a weak story line, it is little wonder that it was overlooked by many, but in the end, the cheesiness of the film is what makes it worth watching for many. The effects aren't as good as hoped and the characters are not very believable. The story is that of a pair of people whom (too my knowledge) are stuck in a cabin where there are insidious lizard-like animals which feast on flesh. The monstrous and quite murderous creatures seem to appear as little more than garden-variety newts, but they seem to creep a viewer out in a pinch. The setting is also fairly weak, but it does the trick well for the story. All in all, if you are in the mood for a simple story and moderately simple effects, cast aside "Troy" and watch this.
HumanoidOfFlesh "Aberration" is often trashed by horror fans,but this film is certainly well-made and fairly entertaining.Pamela Gidley plays a vacationing young girl who comes back to the cabin of her childhood.Unfortunately she begins to hear strange noises throughout the house and her cat is killed.A wandering research scientist working the area meets up with her and they both fight with mutant geckos."Aberration" is clearly not as bad as it's reputed to be.There is a lot of action and plenty of gore,so I wasn't disappointed.The monsters are cheesy looking,but generally they are convincing enough.So if you enjoy watching low-budget horror films,give this one a look.7 out of 10.
