Other than looking at itself just a bit tongue in cheek, this film is not funny, not at all. It's just confusing and gross. A couple of the characters were a bit quaint, and the acting wasn't too bad, at least. Honorable mention to the scary nurse. I suspect the film quality is intentionally grainy and "50's Era Sci-Fi" on purpose, as that is the kooky, slightly cheesy ambiance this movie was trying to go for - at first - until it got so lost in its own BS, that the director, editor, actors, and especially the viewer, just gives up. It's really, really too bad the director didn't have another script writer, one that could figure out a track - and stay on it. The biggest failing of this almost-made-something horror flick is that it didn't know what it's own story was; so it tries to be everything; thereby failing in all genres. It's a tossed salad of horror, suspense, sci-fi, self-mockery, a nod to vintage monster movies, with a topping of utter grossness to irritate us people with polite sensibilities; also to scare off any family viewers. I have a tolerance for young movie makers who 'get' the fun vibe of old movies and respectfully try to replicate it; Especially the Monster Movies from the 50's and 60's Hollywood B-movie mills. Fifteen-foot tarantulas, giant aliens, and the classic Fly with Vincent Price brought a simple story and entertainment value. I hope this movie crew hones their skills, gets their minds out of the gutter, finds a real script, and 'Picks a Lane!' and stays in it, as we say on the busy American freeways. It would be nice to see some genuine quality B-entertainment rise out of the mass quantities of movie swill.

No pun intended - the low budget movie has a few interesting ideas and concepts. I reckon most of them are not really entirely fulfilled. I also understand that some may have issues with the acting choices - and the movie does not look particularly good. That all being said, the movie has some charm if you are into the low budget thing. Of course if the movie would have been able to realize all the things it did set out to do ... although maybe it took on too much to begin with. There are some passages that could have been cut out of the movie without you really missing them too - and it is not even that the movie is too long in a wider or broader sense (just 80 minutes) ... yet it may feel like that at certain moments. So if you are able to suspend your disbelief and have a heart for movies like this ... well it is all up to you I reckon.

I don't care what anyone says, this movie was great. It was erotic af. I've always had a fantasy about something like this, to happen to me... only I don't want to be chained up. And also.... it kind of opened my eyes to our ancient history. Think about it.

Terrible. Not terrifying or even vaguely interesting.

Journalist and UFO investigator Sara Hamilton (a fine and appealing portrayal by Andrea Gausch) teams up with forest ranger Joe (a solid and likeable performance by Joe Manjon) to check out a famous UFO hot spot located in the deep woods. The pair run afoul of a predatory extraterrestrial. Writer/director Marc Carrete relates the engrossing story at a constant pace, ably crafts a creepy and unsettling mood, makes nice use of the secluded sylvan setting, delivers a few moments of pleasingly nasty gore, and generates a good deal of tension. Gausch and Manjon make for engaging leads; they receive sound support from Ramon Canals as crazed scraggly hermit Ed, Liliana Cabal as the eager Officer Wilson, Mark Schardan as an earnest TV presenter, Sue Flack as a mean nurse, and Julius Cotter as a gruff police investigator. The surprise grim ending packs a jolting punch. A gnarly little flick.

Minor plot spoilers. In the Republic of Somewhere, in Tetis County there are suspect aliens from a crash. Sara Hamilton (Andrea Guasch) heads out there as an investigative journalist. She meets Ranger Joe (Joe Manjón) who escorts her around while they are tracked by an alien creature who is noticeably male. The back story appears to be a bear metaphor in that the aliens wake up from a hibernation/lethargy and need a female. Since there are no female aliens and only female reporters are selected to come into the area, you can guess the main plotline. I liked the characters and the glimpses we got of the alien who walks like "Ted" but can scurry on all fours. The plot has a twist, but not a great one. Would have been more interesting if they had more women in the group. Guide: F-word. sex. poster nudity. Still trying to figure out Tetis.

I've seen ALOT worse. Acting not as bad as other reviewers have said. Like I said I've seen alot worse. It does have some humorous moments.

Nothing redeeming. Confusing clues,, leads to confusing story. Has the Plan 9 feel to it. Also feels Canadian made. However, great scenery. Too bad the filming didn't do it justice.
