year ago and the people grow so greedy and hedonistic that they be no longer satisfied with worship a mythical god and so the queen have sex with a bull and produce the minotaur . didn not turn out so good and a few death be involve and and the creature be place in a labyrinth beneath the palace . now every third year eight people be cast into the labyrinth a a sacrifice . this have surprisingly high production value for a sci fi original . all the set be quite nicely do and and even the minotaur look very good . on the bad side and the character just do not have much character and nor screen presence and and it get pretty boring towards the middle . the bad part be that and when trap in a series of cave with a killer critter and what would a person do . perhaps be quiet so a not to attract the attention of the beast . not these folk . the main character especially seem almost incapable of grasp the situation while he yell at the top of his lung on numerous occasion . once and the minotaur be only a few foot away and the guy still can not shut up . he also convince that his girlfriend and who be sacrifice three year earlier and might still be alive somehow . i couldn not quite figure out how anyone could be so dumb a to believe such a thing . there also a woman who scream a lot not just a regular scream and but a long and long scream . maybe ten second in duration . that a real joy to listen to . two of the more entertaining character be the high priest and priestess who be in charge of the kingdom . the priest like smoke from a bull skull and and want to get it on with the priestess . see that she his sister and she rather cool on the idea and and jump into the labyrinth as well . she about the only interesting person down there . and one of the few people who speak in such a manner that you can understand her . i miss a lot of mumble dialog in this movie and but i do not think it serve much purpose anyway . overall and i think the sci fi channel may be get a little good at movie making ( they have certainly have enough practice ) . this one be almost good .
