Without saying much to this piece of crap film. I will say that this film has terrible and at the MOST mediocre acting. There are more plot holes than swiss cheese and i mean a lot! The lizards looked fake as hell and this movie came out in 1997? That must be a mistake cause the effects sucked so bad that I find it hard to believe it isn't a movie from the 60's. And it's like throughout the movie they didn't care at all. They stopped for about 10 minutes to rest and than find out more are/were coming. You don't do that in a horror film. In conclusion, save yourself 3-5 bucks at blockbuster and skip this film when needed cause it certainly ain't worth your time. It's one of the worst movies i've ever seen and i watch a lot of movies, especially horror and for me to say that it sucks, it's just about true. Even the ending of the movie made no sense, ahhhh forget it just don't watch this film at all even if u catch it on sci-fi.

Seriously, why is it that every terrible horror film has a review on IMDb with some guy claiming that "it's pretty good?" Apparently you can have the worst movie every made but, as long as you have green things getting squished at some point, it somehow has merrit.I caught this on the Sci Fi channel and was quite amazed at how bad it was. Badly acted, badly directed, badly written, with some of the worst special effects I've ever seen. Honestly, I was very shocked to find out this was made in 1997 as the special affects and cinematography looks like something from the mid 80s. The script is powerful bad filled with many awkward attempts at humor that just hurt thanks to the terrible dialogue and acting. In fact, its' really amazing HOW bad the script is, filled with plot holes that seem like they were making things up as they went along. For instance, the little lizard things (which rank as some of the most powerfuly un-scary creatures than the puppets in hobgoblins), decide to evolve (as they do often in the movie) and become bullet proof. Yet, immediately after taking several handgun blasts to the fact, the creature is killed by being hit by a wooden chair. Huh? Even odder is several scenes later when bullets suddenly start killing them again. The writing also seems to lack any sort of structure. For instance, at one point in the movie the main character warns that, if not stopped, these creatures could grow to be the size of komodo dragon. Based on a line like that, isn't it logical to assume that this genre flick we'd get to see one of these things the size of Komodo dragon by the end of the movie? Apparently not as the things never get bigger than a cat. The movie really drags as well. Every 10 minutes the characters relax and pronounce that they've exterminated the last of them only to find another batch, and another, and another. When the credits finally role, one can't help but ask, "really? It's over? I'm free?"

First of all; the rating scale is difficult to use as I recommend the movie (who doesn't love campy, tongue-in-cheek low budget scifi/horror; if you're reading this you do!). I use the scale for the quality of scenes not the movie whole. The acting was OK and at times rather bad. There were some cool aspects and the gore was quite good even though scifi hacked it. Pamela Gidley i've always loved! The lizards looked like a cross between older godzilla movies with a hint of digital animation at times. I loved the setting (cabin in the woods) and the snow. A hot snow bunny always helps. All in all it's definitely worth a rent.

As I was sitting with my wife watching "Aberration," I couldn't help but say "why the heck am I watching this? This is the dumbest movie I ever saw!" Then it dawned on me. If it was so dumb, why was I watching it? It seems this movie is so bad it's good and I actually recommend it if you're into that kind of movie.
