manjodude Altered is quite a creepy alien flick. The movie is mainly about a standoff between a kidnapped alien and a group of humans. There's lot of tense moments, some gore that could leave your hair stand on end and also very good performances from all the actors.Paul McCarthy-Boyington as a temperamental nut Cody hell-bent on revenge against the martians leaves the most impact. To mention some flaws, some of the conversations between the characters were a drag and also the movie is visually a bit dull - that could be because most of the scenes happen inside a house(between just one or two rooms). Verdict - some of the violence is quite graphic but if you're a fan of alien movies, give it a shot..it's worth a watch.

SpannersGerm669 I was really surprised with what I got from Altered. Its a movie i've heard nothing about, so i wasn't expecting much, but what i got was a very thrilling, entertaining and suspenseful film that deserves more recognition than it gets.This movie creates something that is difficult to do. Build a dreaded atmosphere and icy cold psychology! I thought the idea behind the story was creative, while not trying to do too much with it. Its simple to follow and the characters contribute to some hidden depth.If you want a film that will give you more than just blood and guts, then Altered is one worth checking out!

port 5 Altered is a great horror/sci-fi film with a straight story, good ambiance and proves that you don't need a $100 mil budget to create suspense. Also a really underrated one in my opinion. The film starts with a bunch of rednecks that hope to trap an alien (to extract revenge), since back when they were kids they were abducted. They have been trying to trap one of them nasty things for years and this actually became an activity to drink outdoors. None of them actually believe that they would catch an alien or even know what to do with it if they ever catch one. That is, until one night...they actually manage to trap one.It is really a great decision that the director took not to use CGI to portray the alien. Instead we have a man in rubber suit and a bit of good ol' animatronics (that's where most of the budget went methinks :) ). Some might find the alien ridiculous but I for one found it quite menacing. The film also have great make up effects like the sickly body of Cody— which was f*cking great. The film is not only about the alien and the ambiance of course. Each of the bunch actually has a character and depicted quite well throughout the running time of the film. You actually care about these guys. Some you might dislike but some you might like. Also the sheriff is a great little addition but Wyatt's girlfriend would be my only complaint as her character has no depth whatsoever other than being a screaming running bitch. Gore is not used gratuitously and it looks also great. The director really made good use of the cabin combining with great outdoor forest shots to create an eerie atmosphere. Verdict: if you are a fan of sci-fi/horror definitely go see this. Don't get put off by its IMDb rating.

atinder I have seen this once before, years ago, I really enjoyed on my first watch but on my second watch I felt a bit different. I didn't enjoyed as much as my last watch but this time I bloody LOVED IT! I loved the effects in this movie, they were outstanding, I really enjoyed the story was nice and dark and there were some rally good tense scenes in this movie, that never falls flat.I liked how Alien looked looked and really enjoyed some of Gore effect in this movie. I wasn't big fan of last scene of movie, it didn't really fit in with the rest of the movie. The acting was decent from cast but some poor acting in a few scenes. Great movie! 8 out of 10
