  • Why are the basics so hard to get right???

    The movie literally starts with a placard "Many years after the rapture..." So why do they still have running vehicles?

    Why are the blonde woman and the guy walking so close to the cults hunting ground?

    WHY THE FK DONT THEY HAVE WEAPONS???? A sharpened staff would be ideal for hiking and defending.

    Are we making our own ammunition in our tarp community???? I know it doesn't take a lot for the process but you need to make the gunpowder.

    How are the vehicles still running? Fuel goes bad.

    Then we have her cleaning a wound in the middle of a small stream, a black humanoid "monster", which looks like nothing more than a Mt. Vesuvius remnant, is near, somehow it doesn't see her, but seems to smell her blood... so she backs into a tiny stone room. Yup, she's a window licking mentally handicapped special needs kind of person.

    It just loses interest for no reason whatsoever.

    Break to her being chased in the middle of the night, and they can run through the trees willy nilly almost without falter... pretty talented for potentially blind things.

    Then she runs onto the trail/roadway, and DOESN'T see or hear the pickup truck with 20 spotlights on it... did I mention she was handicapped?

    Special ed decides she's G. I. Jane and is stealthy enough to enter the homeless tent encampment. Gets the drop on the priestess?? And gets within inches rather than shooting her safely from 10 feet away. Or clubbing her from 2 feet. Nope, she stares at her pregnant belly for a solid 10+ seconds only to be smacked in the head with a frying pan....go figure, that's conveniently sitting near by, by the priestess.

    The cult folks decide to try a live burial style of execution this time, but the descent style monster can smell the tiny drops of the priestesses blood under her nails.... these are the same burn victims that couldn't smell her from 4 feet away in a small room, suddenly they're more accurate than a DNA test.

    She really does have a keen sense of revenge without portraying any emotions, so she goes back. Kills everyone magically with her infinite ammo shotgun that she picked up.

    Weird demon baby is born, movie ends.

    I didn't mind the lack of dialog, though it made no rational sense. They didn't escape and live close, so why were they mute?

    The cult people had ZERO fkn sign language. After many years you'd think they weren't entirely moronic, but I guess they were indeed morons.

  • Was it great, no, was it worth watching? For sure.

    It's a creature feature horror movie, it doesn't blow you away in any particular areas, but it takes a fairly grounded approach to things.

    For instance the plot. It's what I feel regular people would actually do in these scenarios.

    Aside from a few "keeping the plot moving and not the actual best action to take" choices, everything else was good.

    Absolutely 100%enjoyed the ending for her.

    You'd like to think it's easy to just get on TV and blow this sort of thing wide open, but think about it, how would you actuallygo about it? Would you call and say you have a juicy story?? They'd check into you before allowing you on live TV.

    Would you just run into a studio and hope to break past security?

    Let's assume no security and you just walk on set as a random person in the building.

    How long before they'd cut away?

    Taking a hostage to force them to stay on air, you're going to lose a lot of believers who think you're a nut case.

    Special effects weren't great, but for an old movie I'd call them adequate.
