Crotchety Old Critic Its an independent film with decent acting that wasn't painful to watch. Each actor lent a very good performance. However, the female lead (in comparison to the other actors) seemed as if she wasn't sure how to act, react or even was familiar with her lines; that was a bit distracting.The movie kept me in suspense, despite random predictability. The directing/cinematography was immersing me into its world, while some shots I felt were too rushed or unnecessary.It is worth a watch just to see something familiar done a little differently.

Whitetygrr Acting not the best but not the worse. What really caught my attention was the scene where the almost humans were coming out of their cocoons. Made my think of a bjork video. Really look it up. Where is the line featuring mike patton of faith no more. from the album medulla. I swear it bears a striking resemblance haha. But the movie was interesting. Like alien and species this movie has many sexual......i cant think of the word so i will just say images. Of course its not as good as those but OK to watch for free on netflix. Now i am trying to think of something more to say so this review can be posted which blows my mind since im always seeing other reviews about two sentences long. How do you guys get away with that?

August Knight There are NO ORIGINAL IDEAS in this movie. The plot is nothing but the best parts from several other movies COPIED BADLY; including John Carpenter's signature opening credit font and Derry, Maine the fictional town created by Stephen King. Don't copy someone unless you're capable of doing it better than them. And there's a difference between paying homage and BLATANTLY COPYING. The small budget is no excuse for not using their own ideas. Don't waste a single second of your time on this COPYCAT MOVIE. Instead watch or re-watch the movies they blatantly copied from: A lot was copied from "FIRE IN THE SKY"(1993). The shrieking is from "THE THING" (1982). All the other parts are from: "HALLOWEEN" (1978). "THE SHINING" (1980). "THE EVIL DEAD"(1981). "THE HIDDEN" (1987). "SLITHER" (2006). "FRIDAY THE 13TH". "INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS" etc., etc., etc.

Drive_Angry_99 I watched 'Almost human' at IFC, presented by the director and most of the cast.The movie is set at the end of the Eighties, and tells the (supposedly true story) of the abduction of two people in Maine by the aliens.When one of them is found two years later in the woods by two hunters, it is immediately clear he is not entirely human anymore.Despite the low budget the movie manages to accomplish a lot with little, and shows a few gems in the technical, makeup and sound mixing departments, as apparently the abducted man is in real life a professional sound mixer.I also very much enjoyed the setting, a small Maine town out of a Stephen King book, that suddenly discovers horror and gruesome deaths.
