First off, with the exception of a few goofs, this movie is actually made very well. Camera work is excellent, the settings are great, sound is original. And the acting is far better than the rest of the reviewers are giving credit for. There are movies with higher ratings with worse acting.
That being said, now I can inform you that the script is total crap. They obviously had no money left for a script writer. It is a blatant rip-off of Predator (as well as some other films).
-The creatures are tribal.
-They use the trees to get around.
-Shot of a python in a tree? Check!.
-One character startles another with deep whispered "Over Here!"
-When we are shown what creatures see, we hear heartbeats and the vision is a chroma warp black and white version of the Predator's vision.
-Instead of mud, grape juice smeared on you will keep from being seen by the creatures.
-The leader unmask himself for the final battle. (I was expecting her to say "You're one ugly mofo.")
-In the climax of the battle, she gets picked up by the neck and they gleam each other eye to eye.
This movie also steals ideas from "Lost" and "The Descent". The creatures faces were stolen from Brahm Stoker's Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola) and jump around like "Planet Of The Apes" .
On top of all this, the subtle motive for the human antagonist is a plot by the Christian agenda to cover up evolution. This is completely unnecessary and would have only worked 20 years ago before evolution was a proved fact. When you make a science fiction movie that includes future events as the catalyst, it's probably best to do your homework and make sure those events are still science "fiction".
