Shows a lot of effort for a low-budget.
5 July 2003 | by (A secret underground lab.) – See all my reviews

Okay, this is a cheap production, but the creature designs are extremely creative, the monsters and aliens look cool, and the over-all concept of the film is fascinating and never gets boring. The script and direction also show some good effort. Pick up the DVD, it's a creative little monster movie with some decent stop-motion as well. Check it out.
