have see the project greenlight series about the making of this film and i have very low expectation for the final product . the director be portray a amateurish and and his stubborn attempt to cast his unproven actress girlfriend in the movie seem to support that charge . in retrospect and it seem that the weinsteins sacrifice any shot at successfully distribute this film theatrically in favor of exploit it a tv fodder . a rare misfire from the usually brilliant medium mogul . have they be brave and support this movie and they might have end up with a mega million dollar theatrical franchise like nightmare on elm street and instead of a straight to vid release . a classic b horror film and feast serve up heap helping of cheap thrill in lieu of long wind back story which thrill development girl and story editor but leave horror fan snore in their popcorn . the character development be clever and perfunctory and introduce a dozen character with minimal fuss and maximum efficiency colorful character worthy of a ( good ) tarantino flick . the script be fast paced and the direction capture the tone of it perfectly . the real fun start just a few minute into the first act and and keep on pump throughout the film and with just enough lull in the action to reset the audience for more . the cast be superb all around and with luscious lady and hunky guy play it for all it worth . thankfully and whatever humor there be be not the insipid one liner crap or tedious reflexive humor that drag the genre down for the past twenty year . the efx be topnotch and and the cinematography be outstanding and give the film a big budget feel and greatly enhance the limited number of set . although some may disagree with the lack of a back story of the monster and they be no more mysterious than the creature in alien and another film in which there be no way for the protagonist to learn more about their foe without contrive and boring exposition . i can not wait to check out john gulager other film and and hope he get a chance to expand into big budget which he deserve . i also hope he stay in horror and doesn not lose his edge and because there be far too few consistent director in the genre .
