July 18, 2009Saw this along time ago, its very basic and formulaic but the two things that save it are the creature, designed by Stan Winston the genius and Henriksen. Apart from that its just an average boogieman thriller.

September 26, 2009The legendary Stan Winston and the brilliant Lance Henriksen join up for this competent horror movie. Evidently, Winston was more than just an effects wizard, he was also capable of writing/directing too. The pacing and tension work well, it has layers and the production design i...( read more)
