running__blind This movie is amazing. Everyone go see it. Now.Emile Hirsch is what makes it amazing, by the way.It's kind of like E.T, only it's not an alien, but a mutant salamander... and this movie is much better.Emile Hirsch, who plays Brandon, does an extremely spectacular job in this movie and even at his young age, he's perfect.Perfect.Yeah, really perfect..'Casey', the little guy, is pretty cute. I like when he blinks. It's rad.Anyone notice how many times Emiles voice cracks in the movie? ...of course you didn't, because no one that writes reviews for this movie likes it. Geh.I suppose this isn't really a review, is it? No. I guess not.It's just me talking about Emile and his greatness. That deserves to be discussed though. Don't argue with me. It does. He's better than you in every way. Deal!

jen_farout_1 I watched this movie today. Well, by that i mean i watched the first hour.I should have known that a midday movie would be crap. The effects were incredibly outdated and for a movie made in '98 was a pretty lame effort. Also hate the fact that the first person to die was the man that went out in a canoe in the middle of the night, really. People aren't that stupid, are they? I hope not. Not really sure what age group this was aimed at but possibly young girls would like the baby 'salamander' for its cuteness. Although the big ones might cause some fright although the scariest bit about them is the crap representation of the poor animal. Also don't understand why the boy's mother had to have died. They could have just been separated but anyway. With all the problems in the movie Adam Baldwin did alright. He was the best bit about the movie.

kublakhan13-1 This movie was pretty awful but I must say that I've seen many movies that were much, much worse. Remember Jaws 4 where the shark actually ROARED?After reaing some of these reviews I was half expecting to see Bela Lugosi pop up and say "pull da string!" I'll give it a 4 out of 10.

uds3 Surely one of the worst productions in screen history, laying claim to be a serious movie - on second thoughts it COULDN'T have meant to be serious!A subterranean rift releases a family of progressively bigger and more oafish plastic "blow-up" dinosaurs in the waters of Malau, a fictitious Polynesian Island from some B-Grade scriptwriter's imagination. A few locals are "tugged" to death by an unseen force, presumably to cut down costs on unnecessary FX!Baldwin (once an actor, in COHEN AND TATE, INDEPENDENCE DAY) plays a US Marine scientist on hand to study seismic activity in the area. He must surely have needed the money. Julie Carmen is best remembered as stylish vampire queen Regina in FRIGHT NIGHT 2....this surely will have put paid to HER phone ever ringing again.About as scary as the chicken in the Toyota commercials, whoever was responsible for "Gargantua" (which for most of my childhood was the famous gorilla at London's Regent Park Zoo!) should be blacklisted from ever working in the industry again. Never has a creature looked more like an inflatable balloon made-over by four year olds face-painting. Ed Wood never came up with anything this bad!Appalling Oz accents abound (It WAS a joint Australia/US co-production) with a script at high-school level...no, make that pre-school! The flick never made theatrical release (except perhaps in Malau!) and gained only minimal coverage on cable. There IS nothing worse. Worthy of a health-warning, rather than a rating (negative as that would HAVE to be)
