Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
filippaberry84 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.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Leofwine_draca This is a really, really terrible Sci Fi Channel movie, a film that's bad even by their diabolical standards. Marketed as some kind of cheapie monster horror, instead this turns out to be a low-rent action adventure (think Indiana Jones with ghoulies) filmed on the cheap in Romania and without a single redeeming value to recommend it.The film's worthless plot sees an evil North Korean general (aren't they all?) hunting down the fabled sword of Attila the Hun, which will grant all manner of special powers. Unfortunately, Cerberus (the three-headed dog that guards the gates to Hell in Greek mythology) is on the loose, munching his way through various non-entities low down on the cast list.CERBERUS is a complete failure as a film. 95% of the scenes take place in almost total pitch blackness, so that you can't see the true horror of the dodgy CGI effects. The acting sucks, there are no recognisable cast members, and the script is equally diabolical with no interesting scenes or people and no recognisable beginning, middle or end. Needless to say, I hated this with a vengeance.
Paul Andrews Cerberus starts at the 'National Museum of Antiqities Bucharest, Romania' where evil ex forces villain for hire Marcus Cutter (Greg Evigan) orchestrates the robbery of a breastplate from some armour worn by Atilla the Hun, the breastplate is supposed to reveal the location of Atilla the Hun's sword named the Sword of Mars which is meant to render the owner invincible during battle. Evil Japanese businessman Mr. Sung (Garret Sato) who is into the occult & supernatural wants the sword & is paying Cutter to get it, in order to translate the markings on the breastplate they force New York archaeologist Professor Samantha Gaines (Emmanuelle Vaugier) to fly to Romania to help them. However secret service type bloke Jake Addams (Sebastian Spence) & his men are on the case with orders to stop the Sword of Mars falling into the wrong hands, oh & there's a giant three headed dog named Cerbeus who protects the sword from intruders so just about everyone has a problem of one kind or another...Co-written & directed by John Terlesky who also has a role in the film as Willis one of Jake Addams men who gets killed with the sword this made-for-TV effort is a pretty damned bad creature feature which even though the DVD/video box probably emphasises the three headed dogs involvement in the film it isn't in it that much. The script by Terlesky & Raul Inglis takes itself far too seriously, it bases itself on the Greek legend of Cerberus the Hound of Hades who guarded the gates of Hades so that the spirits of the dead could enter but none could leave this film pretty much does away with all that & has it guard Atilla the Hun's sword in a move which will surely disappoint those who want something even remotely historically accurate. I suppose one could say Cerberus is a sci-fi orientated rip-off of the Indiana Jones films without the action or charm as for the majority of it's duration it feels like an archaeological adventure as it deals with the hunt & discovery of the magical sword, the three headed dog doesn't get much screen time & isn't that important overall to the story. I personally thought Cerberus was an extremely dumb film, it's stupid & filled with unlikeable character's & bad dialogue. The ending is poor too with Cerbeus dispatched so quickly & easily the supposed climax is over before it even starts. To it's credit it moves along at a fair pace but I still found it pretty dull & boring since the action scenes are flat & unexciting. Cerberus is one of those really bad films that you keep watching for the unintentional laughs & the morbid curiosity to see just how bad it actually gets, there are better creature features out there so don't say you weren't warned.Director Terlesky does alright, there's not really much in the way of style but it's competent. The special effects are awful, the CGI computer effects on Cerberus itself are laughable, it's amazing how bad CGI looks when it doesn't have literally millions spent on it. I've seen children's cartoons with better animated character's than Cerbeus. There's nothing scary here, there's no tension & not much atmosphere either while the action scenes lack any real excitement. Gore wise not much is happening here, someone has their head bitten off, someone legs are bitten off, someones hand is cut off, there's an OK decapitation & a severed arm.With a supposed budget of about $1,700,000 I admit the filmmakers didn't have much money to play around with, I suppose it's OK considering the budget & it's quite well made apart from the terrible CGI computer effects. This was actually shot in Bucharest in Romania. The acting isn't up to much but Vaugier as Samantha is seriously hot.Cerberus is an OK time waster if your an undemanding sci-fi fan & have nothing better to do for 90 odd minutes, personally I made it through to the end without falling asleep so that's worth something by itself. Not the worse creature feature out there but far from the best, difficult to recommend.
JSmallz75 I was very disappointed in this movie. I was expecting more in a movie based on one of Mythology's most feared creatures. Cerberus didn't even look real, the computer work was below average and the visual effects were awful. I was expecting so much more than what I saw, I mean, the camera work was horrible and the storyline wasn't all that great either. I was expecting to see the underworld and truly disturbing stuff. Instead we see Cerberus on Earth ripping a few people apart and they don't really show that much of him dismembering people, just a second or two. The only thing I must say that I liked about this movie is that there was a decapitation or two and blood squirting out of people, that was about all there was that was worth watching. I personally don't recommend that fans of Mythology watch this movie because you will most likely be disappointed like I was.
Jack This movie is about the search for the sword of Attila the Hun, which will make it's possessor invincible. The bad guys consist of Greg Evigan (definitely NOT reprising his role from BJ and the Bear), and some North Korean general who left his country and is now trying to sell nukes on the open market. Evigan does a credible job as a semi-psycho ex-special forces soldier. The good guys are led by Sebastian Spence (Cade Foster from First Wave). He's a very welcome change from the usual Dean Cain or Lorenzo Lamas that the Sci-Fi Channel gets to star in their movies. Spence is assisted by a female scientist who's an expert in all things ancient, and a couple of other special forces types who more or less provide comedy relief.Overall, a pretty good movie. A bit too much comic relief from the sidekicks, and the characters don't seem to take the situation all that seriously. But, the acting is good, the locations are nice, and the CGI isn't nearly as bad as a lot of Sci-Fi Channel stuff.It kept me interested from beginning to end and didn't make me cringe or laugh at any unintentional humor. I'd recommend it to B-movie lovers.
