lastliberal Sheriff Annie Flynn (Emmanuelle Vaugier) can arrest me anytime - when she is sober. Unfortunately, that isn't very often as she drowns her demons in alcohol. Now, she has some real demons to deal with.Some interesting characters in this movie: the city dude played by comedian Charles Q. Murphy, and Russell Means.Unfortunately, the film was a real drag. It just went too slow and didn't deliver.Bottom line is that this film can be watched on Syfy with losing anything. Sad for a horror film.Maybe the next entry in Horrorfest will be better.

Ray Humphries This coulda been a pretty good flick. The plot, while tried and trite, is interestingly placed geographically -- although you gotta wonder about a county that has a sheriff with only one deputy, even in Arizona. The tie-in with the disappearance of the Anasazi is moderately cleaver. The actors are attractive enough, particularly the women. It's hard to tell if they are talented or skilled, though, because almost all of the movie is **shot in the dark!**Another reviewer observed there was something wrong/strange with this flick. Well, you can't see it, that's what's wrong. The monster roars; the cast squeaks, screams, moans and mumbles, but you can't see anything much. It was **shot in the dark,** and when there's a little light the cinematographer jerks the camera around like a drunken sailor at Mardi Gras. He musta "went to school" on "Blair Witch." It is really hard to have empathy with the characters or to feel their fear in the (presumably) scary parts because the movie was **shot in the dark!** Oh, and the monster looks like an "Alien" knock-off (and not a very good one), but you can't really tell because it was "...".The writer/director Matthew Leutwyler should stick to writing. He may not be really good at that -- what dialogue there is sux -- but he is an absolute farce as a director.

thefan-2 These scuzzball horror flicks share the same handful of shopworn techniques and stock characters. In this case, there are the dimly lit interiors and nocturnal exteriors, the cartoonish "urban" black guy, the cute but ditzy starlet-wannabe, the noble Native American, the don't-mess-with-me hardass, the alarmed scientist nobody listens to until it's too late, the "Alien" ripoff monster, the interminable and absolutely pointless conversations and creeping around cluttered sets -- and, last but not least, one character who's gone all guilty and depressed and alcoholic over some mistake he or she once made, and who, we have to admit, would probably be better off dead. In this movie, it's ***************SPOILER ALERT*************** the lady sheriff, whose flashbacks about the little girl she accidentally killed make it very clear that she will sacrifice herself in the end to kill the monster and save her friends. Which she does. The scientist and the ditzy blond survive, everyone else is killed. And most of the time when there's a sudden noise and everyone spins around and points their guns at it, it's just one of the other characters tripping over something. Also, I think it has something to do with nuclear testing (it takes place in New Mexico), so it's kind of a Godzilla movie underneath it all. There, now you don't have to see it.

JJonsey I wanted to watch this, I really did. I like fearnetHD and even if some of the movies suck, I love the fact it exists at all so I give most of the movies they feature at least a chance.Horror movie...check. High def....check. Drunken half naked sheriff chick...check. I still turned it off 20 minutes in. The plot was nonsensical: The road into town blocked. OK....but the premise of the road being blocked is Charlie Murphy driving into town and going around the wreck that blocks the road. So if the wreck blocks the road...how did he get around it and why can't anyone else?Monster: SciFi channel at best. I remember when the SciFi channel made Farscape. They now make garbage movies. This movie reminds me of the later....onlyy worse.I wanted to like this...it was so bad I didn't bother.
