    signs on a small budget and with more aliens in it i.e. not just shadows. it's actually pretty good. quite gory, quite creepy. has an explosive finale... quite literally. it's almost like reading a good horror book in the middle of a winters night. it's really something you can g...( read more)et your teeth into! the consequences of killing an alien!!!! thought provoking, plenty of atmosphere and much better than the silly blair witch which was just as silly as signs. you never see the bleeding thing and when you do there's always just one of 'em. hate those films. give me this any day

    A surprisingly good horror from Blair Witch creator Ed Sanchez. Well-made, moody. dark and entertaining.

    Looking forward to seeing this since it's from one of the creator's of the Blair Witch Project. It was a decent post alien abduction story with a few plotholes, but overall it was entertaining (and gory in one scene as well!)

    Forget the creepy Greys, Altered reveals Aliens for the blood-thirsty beasts that they are.

    This Guy Over Here picks this as one of the Best Horror Films of the 2000s

    ALTERED is a horror flick from director Eduardo Sanchez who also co-wrote the film with Jaime Nash. You may remember Sanchez as half the team who brought you the highly successful BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Unlike its predecessor, ALTERED doesn't really break any new ground but it does...( read more) hit the ground running. The film opens promisingly with three very nervous good ol' boys stalking through the Florida backwoods; Otis, Cody, and Duke. We quickly learn that they are huntin' aliens and have been for the past 15 years, ever since they and 2 of their friends were abducted, experimented upon, and one of them died, never to be seen again. As I said a very promising beginning, and the film holds together extremely well for the first third or so until the buddies who have now gathered at the isolated fortress home of Wyatt (the other survivor) start bickering over what to do with their captured alien. Its at this point that things start to fall apart and the film becomes tedious and cliched; plot holes abound, illogic runs amuck, and a couple of times we have to ask ourselves WTF? Still there is enough good here to put this at about a 3 star rating. The monster is rather impressively designed and executed, some of the actors are quite good too I especially liked Mike C. Williams as Otis (Williams also appeared in BLAIR WITCH) and Brad William Henke as Duke is a loveable ol' redneck if there ever was one. There's also one good gore scene that should make almost anyone wince, for those who are into that sort of thing.

    Pretty good low budget sci-fi alien movie.

    Some nice gore bits and the alien is cool.

    Decent little SF/horror/thriller, a bit cheesy but some good gore, creepy sequences and effective score.
