disdressed12 i liked this movie.it's a bit slow at times,but it is enjoyable,for the most part.the creature isn't the most realistic i've seen,but i have seen a lot worse.there is lots of gore,so if you have a weak stomach,you might want to prepare yourself.but if you're a gore hound,you'll probably really like that aspect of it.there are no big name actors/actresses here,but i really liked the actress who played the female forest ranger.i thought she was very convincing.this won't likely be the best horror movie you ever see,but it's sure better than a lot of them out there.it has a 4.2/10 rating on this site,but i would rate it higher than that.i give It Waits a 6/10

Claudio Carvalho The lonely forest ranger Danielle St. Claire (Cerina Vincent) works alone in Tower 19 of the Forestry Department of a remote National Park. Danny is grieving the loss of her best friend Julie Cassidy (Miranda Frigon) and is tormented by the feeling of guilty, since she was responsible for the death of her girlfriend. While driving Julie's car after drinking in a bar, she had an accident but she did not assume that she was driving. When a group of students releases a demon trapped in a mystical cave, the creature attacks tourists nearby her tower and later her boyfriend Justin Rawley (Dominic Zamprogna). Without communication or means of transportation, Danny fights to survive while the monster is attracted by her sadness."It Waits" is a reasonable low budget movie that gives the sensation of déjà vu since it uses many clichés of the horror genre. Further, the demon is a rip-off of The Creeper of "Jeepers Creepers" and when the creature attacks Danny, it recalls the famous scene of "Alien" and Lt. Ripper. Cerina Vincent is extremely sexy and has a good performance, attracting the creature not because of her beauty but her pain and misery for the loss of her close friend. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "À Espera do Mal" ("Waiting for the Evil")

Paul Andrews It Waits starts in the Canadian wilderness deep in some forest where some cavers discover something nasty inside a newly found cave... Jump forward 'Two Months Later' where forest ranger Danielle St. Claire (Cerina Vincent) is stuck in a watch tower on her own grieving for her dead friend who recently died in a car accident which she blames herself for, her friend & fellow forest ranger Justin Rawley (Dominic Zamprogna) joins her in an attempt to cheer her up & get into her bed. However they are not alone as an ancient winged creature terrorises them for reasons I have no idea about other than it's an evil creature & that's what evil creatures do for a living...Directed by Steven R. Monroe I thought It Waits was average at best. The script by Richard Christian Matheson, Thomas E. Szollosi & Stephen J. Cannell is rather ponderous & pedestrian, in fact the first 20 odd minutes absolutely nothing of merit happens & is a total snooze-fest. Once the creature turns up things begin to pick up although it seems to want to play games with the forest rangers & scare them although it could just as easily kill them & be done with it. We never really learn about the creature, what it is or where it came from. The character's are clichéd & dull, the dialogue isn't anything to write home about & I'll have forgotten everything about them by the end of today & I hated the boring back-story surrounding Danielle & her dead friend. This is also one of those films that spends a lot of time showing people running through a forest doing noting in particular, or that's how it felt. During the final 20 minutes the pace picks up & it becomes a half decent film although I thought it was too little too late. I don't know, I thought it was all very average, it could have been worse but it could have been better.Director Monroe does a decent job, the scenery is quite nice but but as I said there's too many shots of people walking around. There isn't much atmosphere probably because we know so little about the creature & barely see it until the end & there's no tension or proper scares either. One thing I can say about It Waits is that it has some decent if minor gore effects, while there isn't buckets of blood in it what's here is pretty good including an impalement where someone has a huge branch stuck up their bum in a scene that I'd imagine is a rip-off/homage/reference to Cannibal Holocaust (1980), a decapitated head & their headless body & a couple of mutilated corpses. I think the gore could have been more plentiful but whats here is quite impressive.With a supposed budget of about $1,200,000 It Waits was a pretty well funded film, I have to say I'd have liked to have seen more for that sort of money. There's barely any actors in it, the special effects are used sparingly, there's no action scenes or explosions & it takes place in exactly the same location throughout so where did the money go? I personally thought the acting was poor from everyone involved & the only character to stand out for me was Hoppy the Parrott, enough said.It Waits was average at best & a boring repetitive waste of time at worst, in reality I thought it was somewhere between the two. It's an OK way to pass the time but it's utterly forgettable & a tad dull if I'm honest.

comeundone4162 I enjoyed the movie, but think there was more they could've done with it. I only saw it on TV so I'm sure there were parts cut that would've made it better. I wanted to see the creature sooner than they showed it. I also wanted more information on the creature, such as, did they have a name for it, where did it originate, how did it come into being, etc, not just what they thought it was. I found the "sex" scene to be too long and unnecessary and predictable. There also could've been some more insight as to the characters personal lives. The scenery was beautiful. I do have a question to one part of the movie, but I can't say what it is without giving away part of the movie.I would've liked to seen more of the person she met in the woods and more information from that person. I am going to rent the movie so I can see what I missed from just seeing on television and hopefully there will be deleted scenes to view as well. I was happy with the choice of actors/actresses, they did a good job. The dialog could've been better. My favorite, of course, was Hoppy. Who couldn't like him. I was very pleased with the ending.
