Blood and Snow

I'm sure glad I'm just a "movie watcher" and not a "film buff", so I can enjoy watching a decent movie, without picking everything apart. In my humble opinion, the acting was good and the story all held together. I gave it a 7, which is probably high, but just trying to offset all of the unwarranted terrible ratings. Certainly derivative of "The Thing", without all the cool creature effects, but nothing wrong with that. Hey, no one complained about West Side Story being derivative of Romeo and Juliet, did they? Okay, have I typed enough characters yet? I guess not quite yet. How about now? I did it!

Going into this I had high hopes. It gave off The Thing vibes and I'm obsessed with that and was hoping for more out of this. This had potential at the start but strays way off when they get to base and its a wanna be Thing plot. They could've done so much with the story! That would be a long rant on that so I'll go on. The acting was hit and miss. The plot got all messy. When they do find out key things they do nothing when they could've turned it into a cool story. The cut off at the end was a slap in the face, like why even bother? In the end it's a cluster "duck" of confusion and stupidity. It lacked pulling the plot together and explaining the situation and people along with both of the "victims" of the start. Writer gives up I'd say or they probably had people walk on them it got so messy.

The abrupt ending of the film brings zero conclusions for the viewer. Worth poor acting and a crap story line, this film is nothing like "The Thing" Og or remake. I luteal feel like I lost 93 minutes of my life that I can never get back again. There was potential but I am left with the following questions: Was the budget suddenly cut? Did someone lose the rest of the film? The most entertaining thing about this film was the ice cream I ate while it was playing. If it hadn't been for my mobile phone and gaming apps, I would really be ticked off as the movie ends. If this is a set up for a sequel, I can assure you...I won't be watching it.

I went in hoping for something good. I LOVED "The Thing" and it's remake. I was let down. The acting was nauseating; I didn't believe any emotion any of the actors tried to portray. This is a college level movie, at best. The characters are one dimensional and have no growth. The story line is completely predictable. I blame the writer. This was hashed out in a drunken weekend. Movies are meant to transport us out of our own lives. To immerse ourselves in something we will never experience. All I felt in watching this movie was "when is the good part coming.". I have nothing bad to say about any of the actors; but, I don't have anything good to say either. I'd pass on watching this.

What in the organism was this? The movie stanked, it was a bore without an original thought. No blood, no special effects, no suspense, and the actors were so wooden. Especially the female E. T. lead. I watched because I am a fan of horror movies, but i was disappointed and felt like I was missing something. Vernon Wells should have turned down his role in this sorry Science fiction film. A waste of time was spent watching this mess, do y'all self a favor and skip this turkey. Watching paint dry would be more of a thrill. Hollywood needs to come out with more original and better films. Trust me, ugh.
