I'm not sure what Universal Films was thinking. This movie was poorly executed and boring. I had to opt out 20 minutes from the end, that's how insulting it was.
First, nobody wants to fire up a scary creature feature only to be preached at by environmental fanatics. After watching Carnifex, I am now an expert on species relocation due to wildfires and human greed.
Second, it was boring. 56 minutes into the movie, we finally get a glimpse of "The Carnifex". And it looked like a killer, carnivorous sloth (man in a hair suit) to me. The first 2/3rd's of the movie was just watching three people camp and duck at swooping birds (cheap attempts at jump scares).
By this point, I just wished the monster would just do something, anything. It's just a bad movie that doesn't realize it's a bad movie.
I just expected more from a Universal movie. The acting was good, which is the only thing separating "Carnifex" from a SyFy movie. Though SyFy usually contain more action.
