Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Scarecrow-88 A virus-infected cannibalistic maniac, who needs to be killed because in a certain time he'll supply a plague that will danger mankind as he is a carrier, attacks humans using a curving knife with a spiked handle. Cops Christopher Lambert and Natasha Henstridge must pursue him into ventilation ducts which lead to an old, shut-down prison where he feels right at home. He becomes the predator and the cops become the prey as the prison is quite darkened and the monster is able to move quickly with cunning and skill. He also uses a gun that shoots the hell out of Lambert. Lambert's other partners include Liz Barondes and Norbert Weisser who wind up being hunted as well. As Weisser goes for help(there are scientists in quarantine suits on their way and Andrew Divoff is the leader who understands what is wrong with the maniac on the loose..if only he'd share with the rest of us), the other three must fend for themselves in an environment the quarry understands a lot more than them it seems. Once the maniac riddles Lambert and Barondes with bullets it'll be up to Henstridge to save them.Surprisingly suspenseful with a lingering foreboding due to the decrepit, darkly lit prison setting. Director Albert Pyun decides to close his camera in on the killer's ferocious fangs and blood-shot eye. Most of the time, he's shrouded in darkness. Pyun mostly shoots everyone up close with long shot sequences mainly of the spooky corridors where the killer could pop out at the cops at any time. The film, though, doesn't have much of a plot other than the killer trapping our heroes in the prison. This horrifying future where plagued humans are separated from the healthy isn't given enough treatment. Pyun tended to shoot way too many facial shots barely giving the viewer any breathing room. He edits fast as well keeping the action moving at such breakneck speed. The camera rarely sits still. I kind of liked this B-movie for what it is. It doesn't have much of a leg to stand on, but with what little story Pyun(it's his own fault, though, since it was him who wrote it..it seems like he merely designed a chase'n'attack flick) has he makes an effective little no-budget creeper.

face_of_terror Albert Pyun is a good director. This is not his best work, but not worst either.The story is about A Russian Government that has collapsed (although the filming was in Croatia) , and some kind of virus leaks out, killing lots of people. In this chaos, police finds out that some guy has a deadly disease , and some officers are sent to catch him....The cast is good. Christopher Lambert and Natasha Henstrige both did a good job. The Killer is played by a stuntman Craig Davis, who, in my opinion looks pretty scary in makeup. Cast also includes Andrew Divoff and Norbert Weisser (who appears in nearly every Albert Pyun film).Nealy 90 % of the movie, Lambert and Henstridge spend in catacombs, dark tunnels, following the killer who seems to be strong as King Kong, and shoots like Rambo. The Atmosphere is there, second part of the movie is really creepy, but overall it gets boring as the time goes on. Also i didn't like the directing, every time there's a close up , camera is jumping, so u cant see whats going on.Everything else is okay. A creepy little sci-fi thriller.

pmcmurry This is one of those movies that feels like it was made by a bunch of high schoolers with A.D.D. There is no seriously developed plot whatsoever and some scenes are of inexplicable value to what little plot there is. The writers seem to be trying to make a combination of "Outbreak" and "Aliens" but they don't even get close to bringing the movie to any sort of resolution. Avoid this movie like the plague.

bmj001 This is a horrible movie. As if the plot wasn't bad enough, the acting is even worse, the screen shots are etchy at times and the script, my god, the script just plainly doesn't make any sense. The only question I have about this movie is, did MST3K get their hands on this movie yet?
