Reviews
Winston has a strong visual sense and a surprisingly good feel for character development.
In spite of being almost twenty years old, this monster movie is still harrowing, creepy, and better than modern horror fare.
Nothing can appease Ed when he discovers the tragedy, including the apologetic pleas of one of the teenagers.
Typically hollow and patchy, the script is low par for the course, the acting close behind.
