I am a huge fan of movies like this, so i was excited to see what they did with this tribute, so the movie starts very well with the team of mercenaries set to go on a rescue mission, but then the creature starts killing them one by one, and that´s when the gore starts to appear,
As for character development, it goes without saying that it's remarkably sparse but effective.
The acting is well all around, considering that this is not a very dramatically demanding story for anybody.
The script is precise, it doesn't force the cast to act stupid, or insults the intelligence of the audience; another reason why it works!
The creature is amazing and would make Stan Winston proud to see that they did a real tribute to his original creature.
Rui Constantino delivered an absolute gem with this one. The pacing is superb.
A great film, one of a kind.
