Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
JoeB131 because his works actually made the effort to be movies. This, not so much.Most of the movie is the characters waiting around in cryobeds while the monster comes in and eats them. I think that's the whole plot or something...Maybe the writers wanted to do more with it, but the found they could only afford the one set after paying all the actors for the day and renting the gorilla suit...I'm just not seeing what the point to any of it was.Kind of like trying to write out ten lines to fill out a IMDb review when there really isn't ten lines worth of plot to write about.
pcmanofpryor I felt this was worse then Plan 9 from Outer Space. Cheesy costumes, poor script, low budget Special effects and just poor acting. I felt like I was watching one of those old drive in B movies but worse. If you're looking for something to just kill a hour and a half or so this is it. You never really get a good look at the cheap gorilla suit alien eating the crew. The acting is so lame I could have done just as bad.The aliens that control the " Creature " look like monkey masks, the weapons the aliens use look a lot like cheap fireworks and cheap one at that.What is really bad is that I had problems just finding this movie on IMDb. I had to search by one of the actresses names to look it up, Unless you like campy movies, steer clear of this one.
TheGOLDENWALRUS I was amazed after seeing this film. When my boss even said this film was awful and he likes all the cheesy sci-Fri movies such as the cave I had to believe it with my own eyes. I work at an independent video store so we get quite a few b movies. I was in for a disturbing treat. I have now seen the worst sci-Fri movie in years.The movie had to been made with maybe 1,000 dollars. The acting had to be voluntary and the movie had to of been shot with a sony hi8. The audio was very muffled and unclear.The movie took place in who knows where. The directer says its a spaceship. The first 35 minutes took place in what it looked like bunkbeds painted white. The "beast" was just a guy with a terrible hairy suit.With all this saying I would recommend this movie. A good movie to show in class on how to make a bad film. In fact the only reason I'm not giving it a 1 is two reasons. 1) Its so bad that some parts are funny such as when you hear crunching noises. A girl asked "What is going on" The man replies "She is being devoured!" It was very funny to me. You have the perfect examples of how bad movies can get (especially the audio). 2) The way the movie was distributed. I don't know how I saw the movie for sale at Best Buy but it is amazing. They had about four laying on the table ready to be bought. I bet they sent them all back after a week! They also distributed the movie the same week that War of the Worlds came out. This will get people confused on buying the wrong movie. Very smart.I give the directing a 1, acting a 1, editing a 1, and storyline a 1. It really was that bad.
Vincent Rocca Terrarium is an excellent sci-fi flick done in the tradition of Aliens. The sense of claustrophobia looms as the director puts you in a ziploc bag, waiting and wondering if, and when, the monster/alien will come back to eat you.The movie is chalk full of scary scenes that had my wife jumping and covering her eyes. The filmmakers choice to revel small glimpses of the monster works brilliantly and is very reminiscent of horror from yesteryear.The '70s synthesized soundtrack compliments the movie perfectly. It really gave a sense of the classic Corman sci-fi.If you like Sci-Fi, you will definitely appreciate Terrarium.
