In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Wow. So bad, that my heart hurts for Canadian cinema... Honestly, I've not seen worse acting/directing in a VERY long time. Why would such a complete piece of garbage ever get made? Who would ever care for it to fill even the least watched time slot on TV???? The writing was completely 2D, the concept beyond a watered down rip off of every thriller that has come before this bomb, such as Tremors, Poltergeist, "It"and so on. The last scene - did they really think that awful kiss was a good take??? For god's sake, all you have to say is "let's try it one more time". Was the director blind? I think this may be the worst movie I have ever seen... The ONLY reason I saw it is because I'm sick with a terrible case of strep and couldn't even reach the converter. Plus, it was so horrible, that it was almost compelling.
Other than the laughable monster finally revealed at the end (the goo it spat was more menacing) and the irksome character Mikaela-- so obvious Paris Hilton rip-off or was this character a satire? Either way she was worse than the monster or its parts to look at.I put this next to Chupacabra (sp) Terror in my liking it. I've seen far worse Sci-Fi movies and it didn't try all that much to pass it self as based on true science.A former Episcopalian, I like the way the script handled the priest. I was ready to hit the channel surfing if I saw one sex scene between him and the love interest. Refreshingly, I saw no stupid sex scene anywhere in this flick and the people looked rather normal.
A ooze kills people by making hallucinations!? what was the director thinking! For one thing: most of the movie you can't tell whether or not they're hallucinating or in real life. also, The characters couldn't have been dumber. You think the entire cast dropped of school before they were ever allowed too. The priest guy (Kevin Sorbo) acts nothing like a priest. and who the hell is scared of zombies!? If you know they're fake, you shouldn't be scared of them. And the opening scene made no sense, the opening scene is meant to clarify what the main character is dealing with. From the opening scene, you'd think it's a gayer version of final destination! The only thing that could have made this movie even lamer is if the hotel was destroyed. Also, the whole movie was just one big plot line. Everyone had a plot line, if you were a dog, you got a plot line, if you were the director, you had a plot line, if you were a single finger, you had a plot line. Besides the ridiculous amount of plot lines, you have no idea what it is until you finally see the thing, and even then you have no clue what they're dealing with. Also, the climax is meant to be the highest point of interest, not something that makes less sense than the revelation. And the way the fanatic dude died was the most pathetic excuse for a death ever. Also, the priest guy made worse decisions than any person in a movie has ever made. And also, the falling action was absolutely pointless. You're better off watching sesame street than watching this movie. also, the deaths were more retarded than any death I've ever seen. Everyone said the loser guy died of asthma, he got sucked into the ground!If you're going to see this movie, it's no skin off my back. But if you want to take my advice, save your money. It's better if you're not even paying attention. Just jump into a pool and sing what a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong. At least that makes more sense than something beneath.
This wasn't the scary movie that I thought it would be,although the gooey effects weren't all that bad.Character-wise,Kevin Sorbo's Father Doug just didn't seem to fit in with the storyline,in my opinion.Of course it didn't help that he wasn't in that many scenes. I did like his interaction with the lady,particularly after she found out that he wasn't"that kind"of priest.To me,their chemistry is what kept my attention-nothing else in the movie did! While I didn't think the character fit in,I did like Father Doug-he was rather charming for a priest. The ending,while nice,was too predictable. I would only recommend this if you are a big fan of Kevin Sorbo.
