Ok, let me start off by saying; IT'S NOT THAT BAD, DAMMIT! Ok, that might be a stretch, it is pretty bad. But I liked it... and I feel extremely guilty for it, so there! Was it the cheesy plot? Super-Evolved killer geckos in what seems to be Alaska (but in reality is New Zealand (What the fuzzy monkeys you ask? So do I). Was it the lack of meaningful nudity when it SO COULD HAVE BEEN THERE (down boy)... or was it the fact that the scientist guy somehow reminded me of Bruce Cambell from Evil Dead II... at least in the convenience store at the end.... with the flaming broom... and he also kinda looked like Brandon Lee from the crow at one point.... don't ask, I was heavily sedated at the time of writing this. What it fails to deliver in actual thrills or scares, it seems to make up for in campy, schlocky, tongue in cheek goodness. While it's not that bad, it's not that good.
But if you've got nothing better to do on a dark and stormy night when the pillars of heaven are shaking and the earth is opening up ready to swallow you whole, and you see this in the video rental place, and you're not sure about it, you just kick back and ask yourself what old Jack Burton might say...
y'know what he'd say?
What the hell?
