Despite a few good actors in the cast this movie is just terrible. I generally like B (and Z) movies because most of them are at least fun or have some redeeming quality. I wouldn't say this movie has either but one positive is that the creature looks surprisingly good, or it's head anyway. It's essentially just a silicone mask with some mechanized facial expressions, but for the budget it's not bad. And it's kind of amusing that it uses a spine as a weapon. Unfortunately you don't see enough of the makeup because the creature is wearing some cheap black hooded cloak that looks like a generic Halloween costume. Everything else is basically garbage though and I wouldn't say it's worth watching just to see brief glimpses of a cool alien mask/makeup. Even then you don't see enough of the makeup because the creature is wearing some cheap black hooded cloak that looks like a generic Halloween costume. As for the rest, the CG looks like Sega CD games from the 90s, the acting is beyond terrible, even from Devon Sawa and especially from Kevin Alejandro, the dialogue basically just fills space to pass the time, there really wasn't much of a plot, and it was horror trope soup. I'm giving it a 2 for the alien makeup and for somehow luring Devon Sawa into the cast.
