Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

ryan-10075 Once someone violently dies at a research lab Captain Hickock (David Beecroft) is sent in to investigate. At this research lab a project entitled...wait for it...wait for it...Shadowzone is underway. Hickock is given the nickel tour by Dr. Erhardt (Louise Fletcher) and Dr. Van Fleet (David Hong) into their study about deep sleep. Yet, something has broken through the portal from another dimension. This The Thing/Alien rip-off has an okay cast going their way through scenes we've seen numerous times before, sometimes with much better results. Nothing really worth writing home about in this horror/sci-fi entry. Also starring Miguel Nunez as computer techie Wiley.

bowmanblue The first thing you need to know about 'Shadowzone' is that it's a blatant rip-off of a dozen other films from the same sci-fi/horror genre. The first that comes to mind is 'Alien,' but there are elements of plenty others in there, too.It doesn't have much of a budget, which is a shame because there is a decent idea buried somewhere in it. What lets it down is that there isn't enough invested in the characters. Every one is a total stereotype and you know who'll be monster-fodder and who's going to make it from the word go.It's about an investigator who does to a top secret military base to investigate the death of a worker. Once there, he finds the scientists are dabbling in doorways to other dimensions (never a recipe for 'happily ever after'). Then, we have a monster who - remains relatively unseen - as it bumps them off, one by one.The acting isn't great, the special effects are stretched and what tension is pretty much directly lifted from Alien (check out the 'motion tracker' type scene which is almost totally taken from the scene in Alien where Ripley observes Dallas while he treks through the vents, plus the music which sounds almost identical).It's not the worst 'monster-munching' movie out there. There are some nice moments here and there, but the overall vibe of 'seen it all before' outweighs what little good is there.

Vomitron_G "Shadowzone" was produced by Full Moon Entertainment, and it's one of their better movies. This one also proofs that the company was at its best during the late 80's/early 90's. In the late 90's and especially after 2000 they released nothing but bad, crappy movies, I'm very sorry to say (I grew up watching & enjoying Charles Band's old school stuff, so I know where I'm coming from). Like I said, "Shadowzone" is quite good and it certainly is not a mindless "The Thing" rip-off, as some people claim. Capt. Hickock is sent to a secret underground NASA-facility to investigate the sudden death of a test subject. NASA was doing dream-research and Hickock soon finds out that the experiments opened a portal to another dimension... and something found its way through. This is not an ordinary monster/creature-on-the-loose-in-an-underground-facility flick. Because the creature has the ability to alter its molecular structure and take the shape of your most deepest fears. The acting is pretty decent, especially Louise Fletcher (yes, the head-nurse from "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest") and Dave Beecroft (who kinda looks like a younger version of Fred Ward). James Hong was also fun to see as Dr. Van Fleet, losing control over his experiments. The special effects were rather good (as is the case in any early Full Moon film) with a highlight being a bloody head-explosion (complete with popping veins and all). The climax near the end wasn't anything special, but the ending nevertheless was sorta satisfying. I'd say: If you haven't seen any Full Moon film yet, then you might as well start with this one.

callanvass passable alien rip off the script is only so so but the acting is first rate Louise Fletcher is awesome here she is very likable and gives a credible performance nice! David Beecroft is good here i liked him quite a bit he was tough as nails sometimes but overall he did a good job James hong is good here although i sometimes had a hard time grasping what he was saying Miguel Nunez is amusing here i liked him in Return Of The Living dead and i liked him here i think he is pretty funny it has some gory sequences but the pacing is uneven and is at times too talky there is however lots of nudity and the film is kinda predictable and quite campy and this should not be taken seriously but the monster is laughable looking and the ending is quite lame overall a passable rental and is only worth renting if it is under a dollar ** out of 5
