First off, I had nothing to do with the making of this flick. I DO NOT write reviews and but had to create a profile just to write this one. I like the idea of fan films but they usually suck. It's not Lucasfilms or anything, but I was shocked at the quality. Great cinematography, directing and (most surprisingly) decent acting. Idk if these guys got paid or not, but the actors were good enough to drive the plot and cover up the budget restrictions without looking as if they were doing so. The costumes were believable and director had the common sense to keep it simple. And it worked. Alotta fan films could really take a Que from this one as it does nothing that isn't within reach of ANY fan film IF they pay attention to detail AND don't try to do too much.
MAYBE SPOILER ALERT?
This flick is basically a shot by shot re-take of the original "Predator", but that's brilliant as this story can be redone as many times as can be written and directed competently. This writer was careful NOT to overreach the budget and the director OBVIOUSLY knows what he's doing. I was expecting overacting or maybe the infamous "huuuh?" look that most cheap flick actors have, but none of that here. They don't try to explain too much, don't try to dazzle you, just delivers what you came to see.
Worth the time. It's refreshing to see something "this" good NOT Hollywood.
