BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

GL84 When the crew of a storm-battered oil rig finds themselves being killed off one-by-one, they discover a giant creature has come on-board and have to fight it off before a rescue team can come get them.This must be one of the most disappointing efforts to come along, since the potential for this one to be awesome was frightening. When this one gets going there's some good parts here that really impresses, which starts with the really fun and graphic attacks here that are rather fun with the creature resorting to rather fun sneak attacks to make it rather enjoyable of it coming out of nowhere to launch a graphic attack. The ambush in the office and a later one in the pantry are the best attacks, the former for its suddenness while the later offers the greatest kill of the bunch, as well as providing the great launching point for the investigation into them being under attack. There's also the series of encounters hunting the creature running around the rig that's quite fun here, with these issues all coming together as this takes place in a creepy location with a creepy vibe during a time-period designed for letting loose with the atmosphere and an old-school style rubber monster get a great premise behind it. In the end, it doesn't mean any of it since there's just way too many flaws for the positives to go anywhere. Most shocking is the fact that the creature is so hidden from view that we barely get enough time to determine what it actually is, as no one provides any info about it nor is that expected, and that really damages this by never getting any solid answers for anything. We don't even get a full-on look at the creature to get a complete size and look of it, and the composite takes from it are of no help either at building up any kind of idea about it since the darkness during the attacks as well as the rapid quick-cut editing leaves even more to imagination. Another problem here is the fact that the creature attacks come so late which isn't all that much better as this one run through so much extraneous subplots and unnecessary scenes that really make up the biggest time killer here by featuring so much time wasting points in their life on the rig and the secrets they have it only proves how boring the beginning is. Even the action at the end when they're hunting it down is substandard due to the flimsy action that has to keep the creature hidden, emphasizing the other problems here while also cutting away for a lame subplot about the brother not wanting on the rig and a prologue longer than the actual finale to hammer home how ludicrously short it was. Which was too bad, as it could've been a golden monster movie.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.

movieman_kev During a tropical storm, an assortment of badly written crew characters must deal with the rough weather as well as a mysterious creature who finds itself aboard the rig. Whenever 4 or more writers work on the same movie script, it's usually not a great sign (if said film is an anthology that rule doesn't apply, but this is not the case here) The plot is trite, the characters somehow cliché and bland at the same time, and the film as a whole is not nearly entertaining enough to make the huge detriments ignorable. An extremely dreary mess, avoid it.My Grade: D-Eye Candy: Carman Perez gets topless

harbinger987 Writing on behalf of [email protected], I lost all respect for William Forsythe after painstakingly watching this so called "filth" passed off as being a horror film. I know you do get bad films and all actors will make the odd bad movie, but this is beyond a joke. If the producers/directors of this movie decide to make a sequel, please feel free to get in contact and i will happily advise on how to make a proper horror movie. Bambi made me mess my pants more. I don't want to sound demeaning towards the movie as is it's obvious the whole film was filmed and created on a $5 budget, but let's get serious here folks, this is the movie industry and I was always under the firm belief that creating films was for entertainment purposes. This however comes under the category of don't even bother to watch again, this was so low budget I would prefer to watch Hannah Montana.P.S. If you ever want to spend $5 on another movie, try make it more realistic, hey, here's a suggestion, try spending $6 next time.P.P.S. Mr. William Forsythe, please never, ever, ever sign a contract to make such a rubbish film ever again, you are way too good to be wasting your talents on cheap films like this. (Sorry for being so blunt, but this film was just plain old filth.)

Tonci Pivac What ticks me off in these types of movies, is the fact that you rarely get to see the creatures in full detail. It is always blurred motion, small and fast glimpses, silhouettes, or whatever they come up with to make it more thrilling and creeping. No, no, no! It doesn't' work to that end, it doesn't become thrilling, it doesn't become scary. I will tell you what it becomes; it becomes annoying and frustrating. As a movie lover, I want to see such monsters, I want to see the horror that stalks the people. I am not content with glimpses here and there. It makes the whole project reek of low-budget and cheesy effects.If you are in for an evening of horror in the predictable genre, then this might be something right up your alley. But if you, like me, prefer more than just cheap thrills and bad plots, don't bet your money on "The Rig". The movie is bearable to sit through if you have nothing else at hand, but there are far better horror movies available. And don't get fooled by an otherwise rather interesting-looking movie cover!
