This was a solid B style movie with plenty of action and gore. The ending could have come together a little more and the lore could have given us more explanation for the story. All together its a pretty good watch. We need more monster movies like this and more. Thank you Shudder!
Wow the guy behind 'Dog Soldiers' & 'The Decent' made this absolute guff.... over a decade later. This is a huge step backwards. It is ugly, cheap (I get that its a B-Movie but still it looks like a Highschooler shot it) and absolute cringe. The monster suits are ... okay, still look like a poor man's Venom.
Good
This film makes the original DOOM movie seem Oscar-worthy. It borrows a lot from other horror action sci-fi flicks but is far less than the sum of its parts. The only redeeming feature was the practical effects.
Definitely doesn’t take itself too seriously, and neither should you as a viewer. It’s a fun watch and has decent action. The monsters are pretty entertaining to see, and all the corny campy humor pretty much hits.
