User Reviews

Okay Clone To ALIEN.

This Film was great It had what an average fright flick whould want. The Disipointment was it was made for T.V. Chad Everett, Jennifer Warren Joseph Bottoms Rockne Tarkington and James Hayden star in this film about a creature that has been drilled up by their oil rig by Antartica. The small creature turns into a monster that begins to kill off the crew members of the Oil-Rig. The film would have been better if it was not made for T.V. and Had more Violence and Gore like PREDATOR and ALIEN did. But the Director failed to commpelte good effort and the monster was Just a costume but dose look frighting. I recommed this film catch on T.V. or Rent it. It is a good clone to ALIEN and Predator. 8 stars out of 10.
