While it does feel fresh for the realm of alien terror, that still doesn't mean it's all that good. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 08/19/2007

12/13/2020 Altered (2006). In brief, simply yet thoroughly enjoyable B-movie schlock fest of the highest order. Take one part good ol' boys, fold in a modern bromance and sprinkling of the bonds of brotherhood, add one guy in rubber suit (oops, I mean, menacing alien), add a dash of damsel in distress and wise (albeit brief) old sage, bake for 88-minutes at moderate to high heat, serve and enjoy. Feeds a full family expecting the movie equivalent of fast food. Pairs exceptionally well with a few cans of suds, or "harder" spirits. (Based on recipe of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", as modified by "Aliens" series, and liberally influenced by all horror-themed shack-in-the-woods movies you've seen before. Late night fare only. Satisfying.) See more 04/06/2020 A good take on an alien incounter. See more 03/08/2020 A very well done movie about five friends and how their lives were changed after they were abducted by aliens some years before and the aliens have now returned. See more 11/27/2019 I was really impressed with how this movie turned out given it's budget. It's exciting and suspenseful. The acting is really good as each character is totally believable. It takes a standard horror trope and adds a unique spin to it. The length of the movie was fine as it never got tired or boring (that says a lot about the pacing too). It's not a movie that will scary you, but it's definitely suspenseful and intriguing. See more 06/09/2019 If you just want to watch a very good sci-fi / horror movie this is your movie. How is this so unknown? I had never even heard of it until I picked up a DVD with three other movies that I like and this was the fourth movie. After watching it I must say that I had a good time watching it. The story is pretty clever and the acting is pretty good. However if you don't like movies with a lot of swearing look elsewhere. This is a hard R for sure. See more 08/19/2018 Underrated alien film with great practical effects See more Read all reviews
