This is what horror movies should be like, 21 November 2000
10/10
Author: dario87 from Chicago, Il

From the very opening until the last gritty final shot, this

action/horror film is balls to the wall greatness. The script is

hilarious with some great dialogue mostly done by Clooney, the

special effects are amazing thanks to KNB (who got their start

working with Sex Machine's Tom Savini on early films such as Day

of the Dead) and Rodrigez camera moves so quickly and fast paced

that you will never catch your breathe. Many people don't like

this film because it goes from action to horror out of nowhere

but I loved that. Two of my favorite genres rolled into one. And

plenty of gore for any gore hound. Check out the awesome uncut

laserdisc (I have not gotten into the DVD world yet) for more
