Yawn. I tried. Really I did. I managed to tough it out till about midway but one too many scenes that drag on managed to conk me out. Had to restart in the middle and power through the remainder of the movie.
The first thing that clued me in to how bad this was going to be when I spotted General Boreland about 5 minutes in with three stars on his shoulder epaulets along with Staff Sergeant stripes on his sleeves!?! Apparently the army surplus store where they got their costumes didn't clue them in to rank structure (or maybe they did)
The majority of the movie was shot in a poorly lit interior where the actors were restrained by snakelike tentacles and mostly covered in dark goo -- curiously managing to miss the center of their faces (guess they didn't want to mess up their close up). Periodic screaming and flailing ensue when another snakelike tentacle descends from the ceiling and covers the head of one of the people with a translucent covering that has flashing pulsing lights. This turns into a sort of flashback / illusion with some narrative dialog regarding the person. And one by one we get pieces of the puzzle.
Honestly, this dragged on for entirely too long! Some skillful editing and this could have been a pretty good 30 minute story for some anthology series. The reviewer that claimed he was glued to his seat must have ACTUALLY been glued to keep him restrained. There are entirely too many other movies out there to waste one minute of your time on this turkey!
