I managed to catch this movie after work the other night, having seen it in my local Blockbuster many times, i've come close to renting it, and now, i'm thanking god I never did, or I think I shall have been forced to demand my money back. I was slapped stupid with Rutger Hauer's acceptance of a role in such a horrible film. I am an avid fan of horror, scifi, and "sciency" movies, so just because this falls under the horror category doesn't discourage me from the rest of the category. This plot, (as much as I could follow anyhow) takes place on an island, there's these mutated, inbred, horrible looking creatures that live underground and eat dead human flesh. There's the "as close to normal" as you're going to get alive people living above ground. They start getting eaten, very predictable. However, one of the "normal" (and I stress normal) people, turns out to be inbred and related to the things underground, I think there was some side story about some "blood disease" but this movie honestly didn't hold my attention, or my ability to care long enough to really pay attention. At any rate, this man's wife & pardon me for not having actor/actress names, I didn't take the time out to find out who anyone else was. is pregnant with his baby a scary enough thought, pregnant with the mutant/inbred's baby but knowing that her husband could die from his "disease" NEVER tells him she is. She was a total un-necessary character if you ask me, she served no real meaningful purpose other than to sit there and whine a lot. Well anyhow, what it boils down to "things" come after people, of course there is a storm, no power, etc., but rather than hop on boats <which you assume a great many people who live on an ISLAND would have they stick it out in a lighthouse, this could be seeable if the power had gone out at night, but folks the power was out ALL DAY LONG. I won't even go on about this fiasco any further, but i'll say this: Shame on Rutger Hauer for being in this movie, his role as a DR. serves no real purpose, and if you want campy, horror fun, rent the Evil Dead instead.
