madmada I can't say it's an objectively good movie but it's an interesting one. It had some potential to be a good movie but the low production value didn't let happen.The movie's main character is Zib (Evalena Marie), she's The creature's twin sister. She can control him mentally. They both were kept prisoners by "The keepers" for 300 hundred years, (she's not being kept in a box like "The creature" but she's a prisoner none of the less). Now "The creature" is getting stronger and they will move to a more secure place. Zib sees this as an opportunity to escape and to free her brother, but Knicks (Tom Sizemore) see it as an opportunity to get rid of the monsters (both of them) for good. He plots to take them to the place where they were born in order to fulfill a prophesy"Although I said it's not a good movie, still I really liked the ending and it along with the story justifies the 8/10 for me.

gavin6942 The meaning of cryptic prophesy splits apart a team of secretive guardians as they transport, by 18-wheeler truck, a deadly creature and its half-human sister from their now ineffective holding place to a more secure location.Whether you see this as "Monster Truck" or "Dark Haul", it is not a bad film. Tom Sizemore, who does not appear in nearly enough films these days, leads a team in order to fulfill a prophecy... but does even he understand it? The brilliance of this script is not the hauling of a demon (which is already clever), but the demon's pairing with a very human sister. Can she be trusted? Is she too attached to the demon? What is her role in all this?

clhct1 I am not a huge fan of made for syfy type movies. Other those with some pseudo science asteroids or magnetic problems with the earth type things they generally suck. However Dark Haul was different. First of all it kept my interest through the entire film and it was action packed. Second , there was more of a sense of history and mystery than most such movies. Evalena Marie puts in an amazingly strong performance as well. The movie also wasn't entirely predictable. I do agree with other review points that the editing could have been a tad better and the movie a bit shorter and a bit more backstory but overall the movie was way better than the usual fare.

Thomas Clement (Mr. OpEd) Better made and acted than most SyFy originals, this was nonetheless a film that had all the earmarks of a "first draft." Like most flicks, its too long. Just chop off the first useless 15 minutes and start with the shot of Sizemore grabbing Marie's shackled ankle and you'd have the audience going, "Now what's up with this situation? Who are these people? What did she do wrong that she has this device on her." Instead, the first 15 minutes show that the demon, even as an infant, can fly, is lethal, and impossible to kill (but you can trap it under a box).Fast forward hundreds of years of pseudo-Christians looking after, er guarding, um whatever, the two demons, one who wants to free her demon-brother and the other who, once freed, just wants to kill (!).The humans in charge of this duo never grasp that Zib (Zib? yup, Zib) should be sedated at all times and that Zub (well, he doesn't have a name, so why not Zub?) should be sealed in concrete and dropped in the ocean. Instead, Zib and Zub are kept in close proximity because Zib is supposed to be able to control Zub, though the words, "He's getting to strong to control," is something she says whenever Zub needs to be controlled. So much for fulfilling your basic job description, Zib.Ah, but we have the gibberish of the 13th of the 13th and man vs beast and all that. Who cares? As for the trained, armed men and women who are supposed to know how to catch Zub if he escapes, something Zub keeps doing thanks to Zib, they must have missed several training classes. For the most part, this trained crew can't make it through an 8-hour shift without being impaled, shot by their own, or thrown hundreds of feet (often all three).Special: Tom Sizemore drinking game. Sizemore must say at least 47 times that "I know how to kill it." If you take a shot each time, you won't have to make it to the end of the movie where it turns out he doesn't actually seem to know how to kill it.When the highlight of the movie is a tractor trailer overturning, you've got problems.
