This movie had potential. I certainly had high hopes, after seeing the previews and reading some surprisingly favorable reviews. I will say that there is three-quarters of a great horror flick here. Writer/director Victor Salva creates an impressive mood and atmosphere of foreboding, beginning his story beautifully, building and sustaining suspense before deteriorating into a standard-issue monster movie in the last 20 minutes, with an ending that I found very unsatisfying and leaving things unexplained that might have fleshed out the happenings up until then. Some found the ending to be daring and surprising, but it left things feeling incomplete to me. I have nothing against unconventional, even unhappy endings. It just didn't work in this case for me.
