You might as well FF through this entire film, frankly. It is PAINFUL to watch, as poor untalented amateurs try to do some acting, really dreadful. As someone else said, you'd expect better "acting" in a porn movie.
I have rated this 2/10 because I reserve my 1/10 ratings for the most extreme, absolute, total worst ever conceived and put on film, tape, or video.
The dialogue in "The Rig" is tired, unimaginative, lax, dumb, pathetic. I don't think there really was a director, seems as though the cameramen and actors were somrta left on their own to plod throught the scenes. The colour quality is terrible. The audio is passable. Attempts at humour fall flat.
AVOID this piece of nonsense, unless you're punishing yourself for something, like you're doing penance! Awful. Awful. Awful.

Not sure what the point of making this movie was. The acting is a little below average at best. The plot was cliché. The musical score was wrong for this type of film. The script was down right terrible...and I've watched/reviewed my fair share of garbage I guess the best part of the entire movie was makeup/costumes and possibly the director of photography (although he had very little to work with). I If this film truly garnered 2.5 to 3 million dollars in production costs, then ANYONE can get a film to screen with the right drive and determination. Don't bother viewing unless you are a film student in need of inspiration.

This horror film is set aboard an actual oil rig--one that was the first of its type and is a museum today. A cute twist is having one of the characters actually wearing a t-shirt for the museum in one scene! On the rig, some underwater beast is disturbed and comes aboard to pick off the crew one by one."The Rig" is a low budget horror film with very modest production values in most ways. However, in two ways the film was quite outstanding--the blood and gore was a lot more realistic and profuse than you might expect and the musical score was great and really added to the tension. Otherwise, the film is clearly inspired by films such as "Alien", "Predator" and "The Thing". The idea of an alien slowly picking off members of a group certainly is NOT original and the writing could have been a lot better (the characters sometimes seem like caricatures and the ending is weak). It also suffers some from a few stupid clichés (such as adding nudity where it is pretty inappropriate) and seems a bit formulaic. Overall, the way I see it, if you like gore and low-budget monster films, you'll probably enjoy the film. If not, you'll probably wonder why you've wasted nearly and hour and a half of your life.

What ticks me off in these types of movies, is the fact that you rarely get to see the creatures in full detail. It is always blurred motion, small and fast glimpses, silhouettes, or whatever they come up with to make it more thrilling and creeping. No, no, no! It doesn't' work to that end, it doesn't become thrilling, it doesn't become scary. I will tell you what it becomes; it becomes annoying and frustrating. As a movie lover, I want to see such monsters, I want to see the horror that stalks the people. I am not content with glimpses here and there. It makes the whole project reek of low-budget and cheesy effects.If you are in for an evening of horror in the predictable genre, then this might be something right up your alley. But if you, like me, prefer more than just cheap thrills and bad plots, don't bet your money on "The Rig". The movie is bearable to sit through if you have nothing else at hand, but there are far better horror movies available. And don't get fooled by an otherwise rather interesting-looking movie cover!
