While the idea behind the storyline was interesting, the movie just wasn't outstanding. Why? Well, because there is not much of any alien in the movie, and when you do get to see the parasitic entity, everything was just too dark. Personally, then I don't like it when film makers have to shoot it in a near pitch-black environment. I pay money to see the movie, not to speculate about what it would be.
The movie was fast paced, and sort of had a whole "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" thing going on. Director Ben Rock did manage to set up the movie in a way that was great for building up suspense.
It should be said that the acting was quite good, and it was interesting to have the entire movie take place in a supermarket. Such a decision does add pressure to the director and actors, as it somewhat imposes a limitation. But they all pulled it off quite nicely.
But the movie was dragged down by a lack of showing off the creature, and there was just something extraordinary missing to make the movie unique. But all in all, an entertaining movie if you like Sci-Fi action movies that require little or no thinking at all.
