- Glossy monster movie, with most of the budget going on special effects; the script appears to have been cobbled together after a hasty viewing of 50s horror movies.

  OK action film
  
  Bad acting, gung ho baddies and a whining good guy that you actually want to get eaten by the creatures.
  
  The same goes for the creepy bad guy.
