Review of Desert Shadows

Every second word seems to be an f-bomb in this low budget horror/ sci fi. To be perfectly honest, I chose to watch this because of Mitch Pileggi, Skinner from the ever beloved X-Files. The big man gives a better performance than most of his co stars and he is in the spotlight relatively longer than one could expect. Otherwise, we are talking about monster horror by the numbers, with few (very few) adequate special effects and another few of not-so-good CGI. Some competent monster action towards the finale and a couple of nice plot twists that lead things at this point make the movie pretty watchable for horror fans, even though the dialogue seems to be created on the spot by most actors and is pretty silly most of the time. All in all, an entertaining monster b-movie.
