User Reviews

X-Files Fans May Appreciate This

For a no/low-budget flick, this was better than I was expecting. The basic premise is that "Sara" is an investigative reporter travelling out to the sticks (presumably, in the U.S., though this film was shot in Spain) to investigate unexplained phenomena. There she meets a ranger who warns her about bears in the area that have the habit of attacking humans. Of course, the bears are not the problem. Rather, the source of the mysteries is a semi-abandoned military installation where, it appears, some awful experiments had once taken place. While there are many of the expected clichés, there are some well-done scenes and the story, for the most part, holds together like an X-Files episode. My main complaint was the writing. Sara, played by Andrea Guasch, spends too much time in the last half as the damsel in distress. I thought that was a wasted opportunity, given the interesting (if familiar) role she ends up playing toward the end.
