PodBill Just what I expected

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A_Different_Drummer This review is using the "oeuvre" approach in which the history of the work matters.Essentially this is an indirect homage to the original. I say indirect because the reflex in the Canadian industry to do knockoffs of any script with a pulse is so ingrained you could argue that the homage was accidental in the process of doing another knockoff.Still with me? Now SCREAMERS I is right up there with Cube and RobocopI as representing the cream of the Canuck film machine. Early on the Canadians while busy producing cheap knockoffs of US content accidentally discovered that occasionally they do do something really special on a small budget.Screamers I was one such accidental hit. It was not merely a good film but holds up well today and heck if you have not seen it lets stop jabbering so you can go find a copy.This film, Screamers 2 (they say a S3 is in production but who knows?) repeats many of the same themes, with a little less enthusiasm and a lot smaller budget.It is not a bad film. Especially if you miss S1 and need your screamers fix.Otherwise stick with the original

Claudio Carvalho After two months in cryogenic sleep, a rescue mission composed of seven crew members arrive in Sirius 6B to investigate an SOS distress signal sent from the planet. Sirius 6B was assumed uninhabited after the annihilation of humans by the weapons screamers created by the scientist Orsow (Lance Henriksen).On the arrival, the team led by Captain Andy Sexton (Greg Bryk) is informed that in seven days, the planet will be blown by a severe storm that will destroy any survivor and they need to leave the planet before the event. Sooner they meet humans in a military outpost that battle against them and the team spends the night in a facility. They find hundreds of deactivated screamers and during the night, Sexton sneaks out and charges one screamer to download its hard disk with all the information about the lethal weapon. On the next morning, they return to their spaceship Medusa and learn that s screamer has killed the watcher Soderquist (Jody Richardson) and stolen the battery cells. Now they must contact the hostile survivors the get any battery cell that might be available in the planet. When they succeed in contacting the survivors, they learn that the screamers have evolved to a state-of-art generation with human form."Screamers: The Hunting" is an entertaining B-movie made for television with the king of the genre Lance Henriksen. I had glanced at the unfair reviews in IMDb and only yesterday I decided to see this film with the lowest expectation.However, the story is very reasonable, with action, good special effects considering that it is a TV movie and a predictable rip-off "Alien" in the end. The rescue team is probably the clumsiest ever, since the team members commit only mistakes and misjudgment of the situation and leads themselves and the survivors that have been living in the planet for many years to death. How the screamer has entered in Medusa is a good question. Why one member of the squad walks without his tab is another good question. Anyway, if the viewer likes B-Sci-Fi films with action, he or she will probably enjoy "Screamers: The Hunting" despite the flaws in the plot. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Screamers, A Caçada" ("Screamers, The Hunting")

socceralex16 Most reviewers rip a movie like its the worst movie ever even though its not. Is this the worst movie ever, no. Can you watch it start to finish, sure. But should you? Well, id say no. Yes this is a bad movie, and a lot of that has to do with plot. The writers had to give a reason to return to this planet, but the reason given is bad. The way literally every person dies is rather stupid, and the ending was awful. Most of the writing, the plot, and the dialogue just doesn't make sense. The characters don't do anything that makes sense. Watch this only if your a fan of the first and are curious how bad they could mess it up, which is basically why i watched it. And if thats not the case, then im sure there has to be something else you can do for and hour and half better than watching this movie.

Raymond There are quite a few reviews stating this is utter crap. I don't think it's quite that bad, for a straight to DVD sequel it's one of the better ones I've seen.I liked the original Screamers, it's one of the best kept secrets of 90's sci-fi. Not a perfect movie by any means, but a good sleeper. In this movie you have a rescue team heading back to Sirius 6B.The plot is actually quite similar to Cameron's Aliens, and does a pretty good job at it. Quite a few of straight to DVD movies don't have a plot even this strong, even if it's something you've seen many times before. It may also be the point that saves this movie, that it relies on a formula that's already proved good.The sets and production values are surprisingly good. The space ship looks believable, the gore is surprisingly strong (even too strong for my liking) and some of the images are genuinely creepy.What tunes the movie down a bit is the acting/casting. While there are a few passable performances, most of them are just not good. Most TV series have better casting. The acting is not as over the top as it could be, but there are some performances that just don't work. Lance Henriksen is a capable and charismatic actor and I'm really not sure why he's into these b- horror movies these days.Still it's better than what people here are writing. It's not a masterpiece, but entertaining enough to keep you seated for it's duration.
