I wasn't expecting the world with this one, though I rarely ever do when it comes to lesser-known movies. While it was a passable flick that doesn't really let up once the monster attacks and our doomed group finds itself in peril, what really dooms this movie was just how clichéd it was, from start to finish.
Another movie with a somewhat similar plot (2008's Grizzly Park) really should be no better than this one, but that one at least had a few tricks up its sleeve to stray itself off the all-too-beaten path a bit. There was a movie that used its quirks for its comedic advantage, but here was a movie that didn't do much to stand out from the many other monster movies seen before it. And, sadly, the unoriginality here really hindered the entertainment value of the movie.
If you want to see a mish-mash of several of your favorite monster movies with the all-too-familiar slasher premise, then go ahead and check this one out. It's not bad by any means, just plain and average.
