Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
bodine-1 This senseless and incoherent action/horror flick is one of director Pyun's better movies. Number one...it's short, clocking in at a brisk 77 minutes. Number two...it's got the "Species" babe Henstridge in a role that doesn't require her to shed her clothes, but she STILL looks great. Number three...I like Lambert, no matter how awful the movies he chooses to be in happen to turn out.As another reviewer stated, Lambert and Henstridge are cops chasing a mutant killer, who is carrying a contagious disease, through what looks like a sewer. That's about it for plot development, although there are some half-baked attempts to fill in Henstridge's character. Pyun is best suited to directing action set pieces and he has lots to work with here. Nice little time waster that's never boring and is over before you know it.
spurry Definitely a B-grade movie. What was really funny (or stupid) in this movie was when the special 'SWAT' team came in to kill the half-man, half-monster. Already knowing that the monster eats people and has killed dozens of police officers, a herd of about 6 guys walk in armed with sub-machine guns. The viewer might well believe the monster's death is nigh...But, suddenly, the monster drops down from the roof. With no weapons at all, and in 10-15 seconds, the monster kills them all. What the...?While the editing flashes around, the monster grabs people and throws them around the room - onto conveniently placed, sharp metal objects. The monster then runs away after all of them are dead. Where all the machine gun bullets went, we are supposed to believe, is into the human-shield the monster made using one of the SWAT men. Yeah right... It was a bit like watching those kung-fu movies where, to avoid the obvious loss when fighting 10 opponents, each fighter waits in turn and attacks in a queue. Only this time it was with machine guns. And all the police apparently shoot into walls or each other while they accidentally get grabbed by the monster - who wasn't even injured. It was just ridiculous.I could bear the movie up until that point. But one wonders how much damage an unarmed monster with a tad too much make-up can do?
sarastro7 This really *is* the worst movie I've ever seen. And there's not much more to say. Horrible, worthless junk.All they do is run around in some old condemned building for 90 minutes, completely failing to build suspense or intensity of any kind. It's the most pathetic and laughable movie I've ever had the displeasure of watching. It was shockingly underwhelming; I could hardly believe my eyes. Pure exploitation of name actors like Lambert and Henstridge with absolutely zero storytelling or action substance. A remarkable example of the kind of depths the video rental market will stoop to in order to cheat you of your bucks. It's a total rip-off, not of any other movie but of your time and money.Avoid as if your life depended on it.1 out of 10.
Trajanc I'm not really concerned with whether or not this was a low or big budget movie. A good film can be made with few or lots of $. Unfortunately, this one is a stinker. The overall idea of cops chasing a viiolent plague victim is interesting, but the execution is poor. There are so many illogical and outright silly goings on that it's hard to get involved with the film. Not helping things is the slew of cliched tricks and devices thrown in from the constant amplified panting of all the characters to flashlights that go out at all the right, or wrong times. The film has a few overtly gratuitous and pointlessly nasty scenes. The ending is just flat out incoherent. On the plus side, Lambert and Henstridge don't suck. They are not given much to do acting wise in the picture, but with what they have to work with they do a passable job. There are a few moments of suspense but mostly the film alternates between being repellent and insulting.
