Juliano Souza Besides all the "no CGI" chat... The movie is awful to watch... I'm a avid movie watcher, from all genres and types, and horror are, side by side with suspense, my favorites; but this one makes my laughs go out loud in the neighborhood! Man, what the hell is this? Bad acting, great monster, but also no terrifying one, so, the movie is nearly almost to watch till the end! I never stop watching one, even a piece of "shtako" like this, but I strongly do not recommend anyone to loose time seeing this one! The deaths are so forced and even we knowing that no CGIO was used, the rubber and plastic models used to play these parts lack credibility and this makes the movie very very very ugly!
Tony Bush To call this a B movie wouldn't be quite fair - it's a few letters below that in status. And I'm not convinced that the production company, No CGI Films, truly lives up to its name. Unless they are being ironic when they plaster glowing computer rendered lettering all over the titles just after the legend "No CGI Films" has graced the screen. That said the in-movie FX are handled by way of models and puppets, which gives the film something of the look of the seventies Amicus movies THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT, AT THE EARTH'S CORE and THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT.The plot sees a nuclear family avoiding the overstated potential catastrophe of Y2K by camping out in the mountains. Here they fall foul of a clan of interbred mentally-challenged rednecks who plan to use daughter and wife to cleanse their bloodline. Meanwhile a "crypto-anthropologist" is hanging around, trying to prove the existence of a massive cave-dwelling bug that only appears once a millennium.Gore and splatter gleefully ensue as the family take on the rednecks and when the bug puts in an appearance to wreak havoc the film rattles along to a foregone conclusion wherein everyone winds up dead. The end. This is to intelligent and thoughtful film making what Whack the Gopher is to Chess. It's senseless, mindless and dim-witted. There are some nauseating moments and the hillbillies are suitably depraved, and the horribly unconvincing creature effects do project some retro charm. Is it worth your time? One, only if you are a big fan of this sort of stuff, two, you are very bored, and three, you have nothing better to do or watch. One and two, maybe. Three, I think it most unlikely.
Marc Jason Rizk I saw this movie on opening night after being invited by a friend and I have to say it was pretty awful. The filmmakers who pride this being a No-CGI movie are kidding themselves if they think that this represents the future of filmmaking. The miniature sets, while admirably done, looked like toys on screen, the plot and story were nonsensical and badly-paced, and lastly, the supposed star of the show (the monster) looked laughable at best. Acting-wise, it's a mixed bag of decent acting to downright campy; kudos to Joany Haskin for being able to pull off great dramatic moments despite the ridiculousness happening all around her.Production-criticisms aside, I would honestly do others a disservice if I recommended this film to anyone looking for a monster movie fix. It looks and feels dated because of the filmmakers antiquated approach to production yet does not even touch the base of other classic films done with same special effects techniques.I would rate this film with the bottom pile of a Syfy channel original movie in both plot and production values. If that's your cup of tea, then I suppose you'd enjoy this film.
SandyBalat I am not a huge horror movie fan but definitely enjoyed this film. And I love the fact that the monsters in this film are man made and not computer generated. It makes it all the more fun. Being an independent film it was closely and precisely made so it looks like it can be a big budget film. The actors were fantastic and delivered. I can really tell the production team are very creative visually! I don't usually write reviews but had to write about this one, because this film cannot be overlooked. If you like CGI free films, great acting, bugs and scary looking monsters, you will love this film. And I think I am in love with Orpheus!
