I started to watch this and immediately recognized it as a low budget movie. I immediately thought that it was going to stink - about as bad as "The Dukes: ... Beginning". But I stayed with it - you have to give the movie a chance. I did and man was I surprised.
Another commenter wrote: "Unlike most low budget films, they didn't use the pretty boy look. All characters in the film are very charismatic and look the part, not to mention they are very good actors."
- my thoughts exactly!
At first I liked the writing. I thought it to be authentic and unforced. Then I noticed the lead cop was a really good actor. Then I noticed they are all really good actors. Then I noticed: black, white, Hispanic, and Asian... and then it hit me = no character was a stereotype! They were real people - so cool.
There was a scene where it went a little slow, but other than that short interval I found this to be a real thriller. I am a fan of scifi's and watch horror only when there is nothing else on. This one was a treat! The writing, the directing, the editing, the photography, ... the acting! If you like horror I think you'll really like this one - I know I did.
Major kudos to the entire caste!
I am going to look forward to seeing anything by this new director - Duane Stinnett.
NO WONDER! I just clicked on his name and saw these famous titles in his credits:
Art Director: StarCraft (1998) (VG) StarCraft Expansion Set: Brood War (1998) (VG) Diablo (1996) (VG)
...now that he has branched out into films we can look forward to more of his work on the big screen.
