To be honest, I saw the DVD cover and was expecting a bad (meaning good and cheesy) sci-fi flick. Unfortunately, it didn't even deliver the fun cheese. Sometimes things are so bad they are good. This was just plain bad. While the plotline kinda-sorta followed the book, the script was poorly written, the special effects were not very special, and the acting was fairly embarassing. This wasn't even a good, schlocky B-movie.Don't bother with this one.
