content: This is perhaps the worst big-budget horror film I've ever seen.I'm just surprised these guys didn't realize what a horrible turkey they had on their hands and sent it straight to video. At least then they could salve their pride. This movie is crude, It's got enormous, ridiculous plot holes. It's basically unwatchable for anyone who hasn't read the book.My sense is that this is a monster movie masquerading as science fiction, but it's just not smart enough to be convincing in either genre. The script is just too thin, and disjointed, despite being amazingly long.Lawrence Kasdan is the writer for 'The Empire Strikes Back and is a legendary talent - I'm sure this project was sold on his famous name, so this is a professional tragedy of sorts. Hopefully this isn't his last work.
