I saw this modern monster movie just the other day, and all in all I
was rather entertained. It ain't a great movie by any stretch of the
imagination, but it does offer some pretty fun special effects and
gets off a few neat character pieces. There is very little tension in
the movie so don't worry about being too frightened. A horror movie
this isn't, but a funny homage to big bug movies it just might be.
The movie does seem to be missing an end-of-film denoument which a
lot of monster flicks offer, but beyond that ultimate revelation or
scene it at least holds together.
Don't pay more than matinee prices or you'll feel cheated. If you
want to hold out until video, that wouldn't be a crime either. This
is a fair to good movie with more than a few neat sequences.
I give it a solid "C".
