I found it dumb and dull. Sure, there are some icks and scenes designed to get the audience to jump or freak out, but it was just sort of gross. In some parts, there are scenes where to are tempted to scream at the characters to get their butts moving, but no, they seem to want to linger, to milk their on-screen face time just a little more.
I admit that Eliza Dushku is the only reason I'd even consider to watch this movie, but it's just disappointing she'd be involved with a project like this.
I'm sure fans of the gore genre will like the film because it does deliver in gore and lightning quick deaths through various barbaric means. The film's setup doesn't give the audience much reason to care about any of the characters, besides them having 23 pairs of chromosomes in their DNA makeup, while their monsterous mutant pursuers are surely lacking in that department.
If you want some scares, this movie might be the ticket for a matinee, otherwise, wait for the video rental.
I give it 1.75 stars, or a grade of C-.
