Gripping story with well-crafted characters

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is an "arthouse picture" from another alternate universe with the feel of a 3 man play. Hard to get through, and I can not promise you will feel at all satisfied if you do, but in the end it is a neat little experience of something new, and that is all that really matters. You need to really suspend your disbelief to get through to the pay off, but there really is a great story under the confusion. These actors, and the crew had to make this tiny speck of a set feel like the entire world, and they do a fine job of accomplishing that. In this new version of our universe it really looks like we have come in just a bit late to the party, all of the characters seem so certain in their beliefs that there had to have been a great cataclysm that we just missed, and they never quite touch on that. The naked lunch effect may be just what you need though. Enjoy.

***spoiler alert*** This is by far the worst movie i have ever seen. I am appalled that anybody can compare this movie to john carpenters "the thing" the only resemblance it posses to that movie is where its based. I usually enjoy a low budget movie with obvious exceptions, but i am afraid the plot, acting, dialogue, fx, were just terrible. {COMPLETELY UNWATCHABLE}all in all I could make a better movie myself by filming a steaming pile of poo on the floor and still capture the audience and get a better reception.rubbish

After a very stylish and interesting opening credits (which i actually gave the 1 for!) I'm sorry to say that this film is terrible in my opinion. I don't think at any point during the film I had my interest aroused. I kept watching in the hope that it would improve...but it actually got worse! Exploding hares (wtf), spider animation like "morph" from the seventies, a constantly masturbating old soldier (why?)and over the top ham acting from 3 of the 4 main cast members...just plain awful. 90 mins of garbage. If this film had some sort of hidden "meaning" behind it or is meant to make you "think" then I'd love to know what the hell it was supposed to be! Believe me, don't waste your time or your money on renting or buying this.

Having just watched this film and still digesting it I can say that the acting is great in the film and the idea is actually a good one. The thing that made me quite angry with the film is that it is just plain stupid as in it got to the end and the plot of the film made no sense to me whatsoever.If this film was made to be all about the screenplay and very little to do with the plot then it is is worth probably more than 5 stars, however as i suspect that there is meant to be some great innuendo behind this film which i cannot for the life of me fathom without being in the writers head then this film deserves a 1 star.I am actually a little angry still that i spent an hour and a half watching this but at the same time can appreciate the way it was made...I don't know anyone that i could recommend this film to personally who wouldn't turn round to me after watching it and call me something not very nice but being a weirdo myself i guess i can empathize with the weirdness of the film?!
