Disappointing

Warning: Spoilers
This movie started off with a great idea - a group of people hunt and kidnap an alien and then have to figure out among themselves where to go from there.

There was a lot of promise in that premise, but unfortunately it disappears somewhere along the way. From a potentially smart, sci-fi horror movie, it became a generic monster movie at some point. The most scary part of it all were the continuity errors, which stack up substantially by the end of the movie. Some of the actors perform admirable, but it's not enough to save this crash and burn of a movie. The characters are stereotypical and boring.

I've seen amazing horror movies made with a fraction of the budget of this movie (Yellow Brick Road and Dead End come to mind), and I'm guessing most of that money went towards the CG effect and alien costumes. Both of which were awful.

Only watch it if you are really,really bored and have already seen ALL other films in existence.
