I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

one of my absolute favorites!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Tells about 15 years ago, mysterious creatures emerged from the ground and wanted to kill all Mankind. A man tries to save his family from the destruction of the world. I think this film is quite entertaining.

Found out beforehand that Day of Reckoning featured an appearance by the beautiful Barbara Crampton and oh my with this movie released in 2016 she still looks beautiful as ever. The premise of Day of Reckoning has evil creatures invading Earth and then they made their return fifteen years later. Day of Reckoning is passable enough fluff for me and the creatures do look impressively menacing. However I did my interest in this movie the moment the beautiful Barbara Crampton made her last scene as she is the reason I was most looked forward to see Day of Reckoning. It was sure a Day of Reckoning of seeing the beautiful Barbara Crampton in this movie not so much for the movie itself. It is always a reckoning to see the beautiful Barbara Crampton.

A vote of 1 is too good for this movie. I stopped viewing after a few minutes.You could tell from the start it was going to be awful with the cardboard acting.The CGI must be an example of the worst CGI possible, it makes old Sinbad Plasticine creature look 100% real. ( I loved the old Sinbad movies as a kid)Why do these people even bother? I downloaded it for free and feel cheated and criminal that it took space on my hard drive.I worry about people that voted this above 1

The good points:1 It takes itself seriously, it is not a daft parody of science fiction like Sharknado.2 Interesting premise - millions of monsters from deep beneath the Earth's crust rise up world wide during some eclipses to eat people.3 Good dialogue and acting. Generally not bad direction and editing.4 Several types of monster (avian, bovine, humanoid, small worm things, giant worm things) suggest a subterranean ecosystem somewhere.5 Okay CGI. Vast hordes are depicted with conviction. Close-up hand to hand battles, less so.The problems:1 There is no attempt to understand or explain the creatures, which a sci-fi or horror film ought to try to do. Some people think they are literal demons, which some people would, but why would subterranean creatures react to a total eclipse they cannot possibly detect? Is it because they really are supernatural? I can see why cold would bother them but why salt? Salt is a traditional weapon against magical threats, again suggesting a supernatural nature. They decay rapidly into red mulch when dead but nobody mentions this, making me think this was added at the CGI stage and was not in the script.2 Just one is seen at night apparently either dead or paralysed, but mysteriously still intact. Nothing is made of this potentially intriguing episode.3 Several action scenes are missing short vital events necessary to make the scenes flow and make sense. Easily fixable, so why weren't they? Was it edited in a rush?It still manages to be one of the best SyFy channel movies.
