Based on some other IMDb reviews, I had very low expectations for this. Right off the bat, the vfx made it pretty obvious the budget for this was on the lower end, but I still found myself enjoying it. Wesley Snipes was great as this crazy hunter/hermit character who does taxidermy, and actually gets to stuff one of the aliens (it's a lot funnier than it sounds). The young cast was also pretty good. The cinematography and creature makeup/design were better than you'd normally expect for this kind of film.
But there are definitely a few glaring flaws. The vfx could have been MUCH better and some of the editing was just plain confusing. The movie also clearly borrows elements from Cabin in the Woods and Fire In The Sky, but it does takes a very unsuspected turn near the end.
So I do recommend the movie, but also to checking your expectations before watching it. If you're looking for the next Independence Day or Star Wars, this probably isn't for you. But if you enjoy smaller films with interesting ideas, quirky characters and a little humor, you'll most likely have a good time.
