A Disappointing Continuation

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

If you go down to the woods tonight you'll find...E.T. And he doesn't want to go home. Not only that, he's angry, but if you will shoot his co-pilot, what else can you expect? If you find this film confusing, book up on the conspiracy garbage about Area 51. In reality, the most bizarre alien ever to land at Roswell was John Denver, and he was a distinctly friendly one.Seriously, this film misses in so many ways, even if you do spot the cultural reference to "The X-Files" towards the end - Smoking Man. And "Spirit In The Sky" should definitely not have appeared on the soundtrack, not even the original version, much less the Elton John cover. Far more thematic would have been his own "I've Seen The Saucers".

A group of friends who are spending the weekend at a remote cabin in the woods find themselves being terrorized by malevolent aliens. While director/co-writer Colin Minihan and co-writer Stuart Ortiz do successfully generate plenty of nerve-rattling tension, ably craft a strong and unsettling atmosphere of pure creepy dread (the scenes on the spaceship are positively nightmarish), deliver a few neat bits of nasty gore, and conclude things on a surprising downbeat note, this film nonetheless fails to score a complete bull's eye due to the extremely annoying and unappealing young adult main characters, lots of remarkably irritating excessive profanity, and an uneven tone that veers uncomfortably from stark horror to goofy humor without ever finding a steady balance between the two polar extremes. Fortunately, the always reliable Michael Ironside livens up the proceedings with customary aplomb as flaky Vietnam veteran hermit Travis. Gil Bellows likewise does well as a no-nonsense sheriff who's trying to figure out what's going on in his sleepy small town. Not bad, but it could (and should) have been much better.

Best movie I ever saw, got better as it went on. Watch through the credits. The hats nod to the x files smoking man was my favorite part! If you need a movie to be serious or make sense this is not for you! If you are guilty of watching the syfy channel movie special when everyone else is asleep then it is a must see! Not know what this flick was I went from "what is this crap" to "OMG did that just really happen?". All stops get pulled! I don't want to spoil it to much but from this review I think those who want to see it should know it is worth their time and those that don't appreciate this type of film (no hate, we all have different tastes) know to stay away! But without a doubt this is the guilty 2am McDonalds cheeseburger combo extra large of movies!

This is a low budget, and a low in almost everything little movie. It is watchable if you don't care and have friends to talk to and a lot of popcorn.For example, it all start with a frenetic woman in shock who is running in pouring rain for help. She reach a store which is closing, so the responsible simply lock the door on her saying "we're closed" and don't give a heck that she is in trouble and urgently need help in that remote area.After that, we notice that she is not wet, even if she was running in the rain. She then run to a phone booth to call 911. We can see that she is in a light dress, almost a night dress with nothing else (she is running for her life). An alien craft then come over her head and suck her in. But by magic, the policeman that comes after to investigate the scene, finds in the rubble guess what… the woman's wallet with her picture! Where the heck was she keeping that wallet?Anyway, it is just an example in order to describe the lack of work in that movie. For the rest of it, it is again really bad aliens that violently kidnap people in order to torture them.
