    Very Good!

    This film was put together very well. The editing was wonderful. Matt Green has a great eye when it comes to the angles and feel of the film. I think the Sci-Fi channel should premier it SOON, hear that SCI-FI..HUH? Great Film!!!!

    Beware the cheesiness

    Just overall sub par. CGI was god awful. Acting was pretty terrible as well. Story line is typically ridiculous. More of a college made film.

    Absolute Garbage truck material, Burn it, & bury it !

    Not the best CGI monster in the world but it was a fun film to watch. Brian Bremer from Pumpkinhead did a very good job as well as Savini. Tom was not as good as he was in From Dusk Til Dawn but this is not a Robert Rodriguez film either. Film Bashers beware! Nobody takes you serious. These guys spent a lot of time and effort into making this film and it does show. I am sure with a bigger budget it could have been better but that is why we call them low budget films. I would have liked to se Savini a little more hands on with the effects but I understand he is more into acting now and that's cool. The effects were not all that bad anyhow! Cudos guys. Even though the monster on the DVD cover looks nothing like the one in the film, well that's the fault of the distributor and their marketing department. Not bad though...not bad!

    rated R for violence and bore

    I think that if I video taped my hair growing, that that would have made a better movie than this drivel. Was this someone's failing grade film school project? Was this someone's idea of a bad joke? Was this a dare? Inquiring minds would like to know. I've seen better CGI monsters on old Nintendo games. Once again, I rented this for free and I still felt like I wasted my money. I wanted my 2 hours back. I wanted to be able to tell people that I didn't sit thru this garbage...but I can't. Those 2 hours are gone forever. If you see this movie on a shelf..avoid it like the plague. Don't let the cover art fool you....go home, read a book or a recipe or lick the floor.....something else besides watching this miserable excuse of a movie. This doesn't even get a "B" rating. Rated Z for bottom of the barrel.

    A great movie!

    Low-budget monster movie about a Military experiment that goes horribly wrong, releasing a lizard-like carnivorous monster into the wild. An X-Millitant (Tom Savani) lures people to the creature's habitat so it can feed....off human flesh. Tom Savani's "Vicious" is a great shoe-string budget monster fest with lots of gory on-screen death, a cool monster, and decent writing and performances for a film made under a million dollars. Okay, it's extremely corny, but the excellent gory special effects and the presence of Mr. Savani make up where the film fell short! 8/10.

    • Trivia
      There was originally a full-scale animatronic monster built for the film. Unfortunately, by the time the film was ready to be shot, the creature wasn't finished. The head was, however, and the close-up of the creature or shots with just the head exposed are all animatronic, the rest finished with CG that writer/director Matt Green condones.
