Watched this Thursday night. I thought the acting was very good especially Shea Wigham. I can't say much for the fx since it was low budget but it reminded me of The Thing and in certain scenes the Evil Dead. And the creatures origins reminded me of an episode from the X-Files, so I wasn't struck by originality. Still, it wasn't a bad flick at all. It had it's moments, namely the cinder block scene in the cooler.
Since you and I seem to share the same interest, I've seen a few trailers that look promising:
R-Point
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Penny Dreadful
And give this one a try when you're out of other options... Death of a Ghost Hunter. I've seen it already but I'd like to hear your opinion.
Any movie suggestions for me??
