This was an unintentional viewing. What started out as channel surfing, ended up costing me two hours. Let me start by saying that the story sucked, big time. Alien/Predator ripoff, nothing much I can do about that. But the directing was solid, creative, and certainly made much more of this movie than the story deserved. The writer better be praying to the director 5 times a day -- hopefully Sci-Fi will use the director again. I haven't seen his other stuff, but if they give him a better story next time, I'll certainly make the effort. The acting was also just as capable (the mad scientist got on my nerves, but the army group was again much better than the story deserved.) The death scene of the bald army guy (Kearns?) ROCKED! Kudos to director Cox and actor Kallaway for pulling off what was certainly the most memorable death scene in a long, long time (and the best scene of the movie). Somebody saw this movie that will be a future bigtime director and I guarantee you they'll rip that death scene off in their big budget hollywood version 10 years from now (YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST!) I didn't mean to like this movie, it just happened...
