Brilliant and touching

Better Late Then Never

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Seriously dino terminator robotic with midsection amoeba life sucking action? And it somehow can't break down an old log cabin door. However, there was plenty of sweaty boy flesh per the 'writer' / 'director' 'muse'...

A group of city kids are given a "second chance" by camping in a hungry alien predator landing location. Young Roth Young (John Redlinger) is crushing on a girl who thinks he is a perv so we know he saves her life and she comes around.The alien was a bionic mantis? He tracks down the kids and emits EMFs or something so they know when she is coming. Could have been worse.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Very minor spoilers.I started out watching this somewhat reluctantly, but found myself really liking it once the clichéd opening scene was over with. Although the obvious character tropes are present, it was the characters that got me engaged. I felt somewhat sad early on because I liked all of them - except the guy you are not meant to like - and I knew most of them probably wouldn't make it.The Alien creature is very well done, but they show it off too early and ruin the suspense somewhat. It looks like a highly magnetized H.R. Giger Alien centaur that ran through a junk yard. The cyborg design doesn't really fit the "vampiric" nature of the alien and its ability to sneak up on people, although I suppose it presents a good reason for it to be bullet-proof.The acting and script is mostly good. They avoid having the characters do anything obviously stupid, although there is some character in-fighting that pops up at moments where you would expect the group to be too bothered about survival to have a go at each other. Most set pieces were well done, and tense, except for the ending which was highly unoriginal. Despite the great alien, the other effects are very bad, with poorly done CGI explosions and one scene where the alien picks someone up by the neck that is laugh-out-loud fake looking.The two young leads, John Redlinger and Clare Niederpruem have great chemistry and are very effective in their roles. Hopefully we see more of them in "better" movies.Overall, a really good film of this type. I would certainly watch it again.

What would you get if you take the creature from Alien and give it A Terminator skeleton well other than a lawsuit from James Cameron you get this metal alien. This alien crashes into earth and starts feeding on some young adults in a second chance rehab program in a remote area. One by one they get picked off until they decide to fight back.This one is more action than horror. Looks like they had a decent budget though. The characters are paper thin. I just watched it and I can't remember them.Nothing new or original here. They couldn't even pick an original title!
