just seen this for pre order at £13.

anyone heard anything about it?

Went to see it at the cinema, visuals are very good for such a low budget film but I didn't think it was anything special. I would't pay more than £3.99 for it.

5/10

2 of my favorite films are tremors and robot jox, does it fit this catagory?

Its nothing like Tremors but not heard of 'robot jox', it is a good film but it isn't a monster movie, there about probably about 15-20 mins in the entire film involving the 'monsters' but its mainly a drama about the 2 lead characters making a journey.

Watched this the other night on Netflix streaming. I thought it was brilliant. Fine acting and some genuinely tense moments. It seems to be a Marmite movie - people either seem to love it or hate it. Have to say though, those who hate it were probably expecting an action flick. The title - although deliberately ambiguous - also confused a lot of people

Only complaint for me is that a couple of scenes were way too close to scenes from movies that inspired it. Also, the FX were a little ropey in places....but considering it was made for peanuts I'll forgive them!

8.5/10

The girl is rather lovely.

Absolute gem of a film, I loved it. It does seem to be a bit of a marmite film though.

Weren't they basically done by a guy in his bedroom?

Yep, the director himself did them entirely on a MacBook Pro using After Effects, I believe.

I enjoyed it. The film isn't about monsters though

It was also edited by one dude and a Macbook Pro

It's ok, a solid 7. Rental only though.

Yep.

This is a drama, between 2 characters and their journey/travels, across America. The alien back-drop is very much in the background.

I thought it was alright but I think it needed more monsters in it.

I wouldn't buy it, even if it was up for £3 or somehting.

The only decent part of this film. It's just a dull love story that just happens to have a single 'monster scene' in it. Not even worth it for free.
