The Thing Below (2004 Video)
1/10
Just Plain Lousy
28 September 2005
Thank God it was only a rental. First off the acting was just horrible. The plot is the overused "alien in a meteor wants to kill everybody" story that just makes me think that no one put any real effort into making a halfway decent movie. The obligatory nudity comes in the form of a 5 minute strip act. This was probably added to take the viewers mind off what they were watching for a few minutes. But I would have rather have the movie be that much shorter.

But the worst part is (as always) the monster itself. The current trend of movies being filled with CGI is a good thing if it's done right. Here it's done very wrong. The Monster CGI is atrocious. Simply put: Nintendo games have more convincing monsters. There's a scene near the end where a tentacle come out of a person's mouth to strangle another victim. The animation was not even lined up with the film properly.

Do yourself a favor and don't even bother with this movie.
