This is the latest movie spawned from the Project Greenlight banner, and is about a group of civilians trapped inside of a bar, trying to survive an attack from a group of alien type beasts who are hungry for blood. It was what I expected and more, from a movie with the basic premise being survival from the monsters ala Night of the Living Dead.

The gore in the movie was surprisingly great, and plentiful. Lots of good legitimate effects using prosthetics and liquids as opposed to CGI blood which is always lame. Faces ripped off, heads exploding, decapitations, a flacid alien dick flopping around and so much more. The gore and violence was superb.

The story itself was good for what it is. People holed up in a bar, trying to fend off nasty monsters. I watched this the other day, and I still don't know that there was ever any reason given as to why these beasts were attacking the people, but I don't really care in the end. It played out as an enjoyable hour and a half of watching people being ripped to shreds by these blood thirsty ghouls.

The acting went from pretty decent for some people, to incredibly annoying from others. The bar owner, who looks like Vinnie Paul from Pantera was a cool scumbag. Him and the main girl stand out the most for me as far as the least annoying. The guy that takes the cake for over acting, and being overly not funny for a supposed "hilarious comedian", is that douchebag from all the "I love the insert years here" series on VH1.

Why Judah Friedlander is in anything is beyond comprehension for me. He was obnoxious and annoying as the oblivious cool dude stoner character. He was supposed to be comic relief, but he didn't get the memo and stunk up the screen. I had no idea he was even in the movie so when I saw him I said maybe he will be alright...... SIKE! He is bogus, and he is my main complaint about the movie. He's on the terrible show 30 Rock on NBC that over rated Tina Fey writes, and he sucks in that too. My nuts could wear a trucker hat and have bad sideburns and replace this guy perfectly.

Overall though, since this post was mostly to bash that douchebag, the movie was cool. I enjoyed it. If you like movies where people are trapped inside a place, trying to fend off "the bad guys" while being killed in impressive ways, check it out. If you are an asshole who loves the art form of "film making", eat shit and go watch the Science of Sleep.

Fun movie, 4 out of 5 nasty assholes.
