The state has no place interfering with the lives of its citizens. Taxes? NO! Abortion? NO! Twisted abominations that reproduce endlessly, feed on human beings and kill without discrimination? Hmmmm…. now you got my interest.
A strange and deadly organism spells the eradication of all life as we know it in this tight budget sci-fi thriller. A rogue scientist has unwittingly threatened the end of the world and a team of innocent teen paintgunners are left not merely to survive against the terrible mutation, but government guns hired to leave no witnesses alive.
One thing that intensely lets this flick down is the bad acting. It doesn’t necessarily fail when it needs to step up, and eventually becomes bareable if not comedic; however nothing especially shines, as everyone displays a very amateurish and talentlessness which really shows.
This is made up for the somewhat surprisingly decent writing and ambitiously supernatural themes, making for a fair amount of action, chaos and activity. There’s enough to keep the viewer involved with the survival horror scenes, dramatic twists, science fiction influence, and the… agreeable female protagonist.
The makeup and SFX aren’t great. Yet they do their job, and it’s not the quality which is at fault; it’s the visual coordination. It’s so sloppy, cheap and undeveloped. While the script is alright, there’s not a relative engagement in balance focus. And the cackhanded sound production is also grating, particularly the repetitive reverse crash.
Additional mayhem, carnage, bloodlust and destruction would have been relieving. And with the props, it seemed as if for moments: was something held back by poor imagination or was there a restrictive authority somewhere? Either way it just needed more gore and more tits.
4/10
