Where to begin with this waste of time? The premise is generic - strange and hostile creatures emerge from underground to wreak havoc on a major city. The inhabitants of an apartment building are trapped and fall one by one to these creatures. The ending does not resolve the story in any way (I guess the producers are hoping for a sequel).
Camera work was average. Plot was generic. Characters were forgettable, some were annoyingly hysterical and made the same mistakes you see in every generic horror film. Antagonists (creatures) looked fake, cgi for them was horrible.
Basically a below-average film which adds nothing new. Watch if you want to waste 79 minutes of your life.
