Cerina Vincent (Danielle), Dominic Zamprogna (Justin), Matt Jordon (Wakinyah), Miranda Frigon (Julie).
The plot of this movie was actually quite confusing. Why the creature picked her to stalk and torment but then didn’t kill her when it had the chance just didn’t make much sense at all. Even the myth around the creature was never well explained with confusing history from a local tribesman mixed with cave drawings. The only thing that was explained well was the death of Danielle’s friend, Julie, and why she was so emotionally upset. It almost seemed as if they couldn’t decide if this should be a drama or a horror so they went with drama and decided to just stick in some horror scenes to spice things up.
Although Cerina Vincent was a pleasure to look at, it just wasn’t enough to keep this movie from being flat and lifeless. Acting was mediocre at best with absolutely no energy between the actors.
Camera work was disappointing with jerky movements used to create the feeling of desperation or urgency that were overused. Sets were decent but not overly interesting. Special effects had potential but because we didn’t even get to see the creature until an hour into the film they just didn’t have the impact they could have had.
Overall the best description I have for this one is that it is a complete paint-by-numbers horror flick. Nothing really exciting or original here so leave this one toward the bottom of your Must See list. There were a few good BOO moments but again, it just wasn’t enough to save this film.
No nudity, little foul language but a good dose of scary moments, blood, and snarling creature scenes should keep the younger kids away from this one.
