User Reviews

Utterly fun creature feature

After being asked to participate in a rescue mission after a disastrous mountain-climbing incident, a man and his team find the area protected by a group of vicious creatures guarding a secret within the mountain and try to get away before falling victim to the ravenous beings.

This one actually wasn't too bad, and definitely has it's good parts and a few flaws. One of the better aspects is the creatures here are pretty enjoyable creations that are given enough to care about, are woven nicely into the story as it's nice to not see another Bigfoot film despite it appearing very easily as one, and the action scenes are really enjoyable with all the location scenes up high in the mountains, including two big highlights in a frenetic shoot-out in the ruins of the camp while trying to avoid the creatures and the finale in the gigantic cavern loaded with the explosives among others. There's a couple problems, though the big one is that there's too many subplots here to really matter, as there's the military intervention, the cancer scare, the trapped wife and eventual reconciliation and the secret goal of the original mission all could've gone away and not messed the film up at all as is and instead gives it a rather cluttered feeling when it never really needed to be so. Overall, though, it's pretty enjoyable.
