If I was still 5 I might find it scary. It is (I guess) a low budget film. The acting is not good, but could be worse - the filming and special effect is awful. The story line is thin and not worth to dwell on. Too much time is used on boring shouting scenes. The chases or fight with aliens, remind me of kids fighting with scary masks on. Some gore with blood and body parts - would scare a 5 year old kid I guess. Apparently scare the crap out of some of the persons in the film.It is far from reaching anything like the film Tremors.This turns out to be an "incident" and we see alien ships nearby earth. It make you wonder if any will make a sequel...

I've seen worse and I've seen better. But overall, this is a nice little low-budget Sci Fi movie.It is set in a fictional town called Salena in Arizona, which is the real life town of Superior, AZ. The plot is pretty basic and predictable, about a group of people trying to escape from mysterious aliens. There is a lot of blood and screaming and some cheap scares. The characters are not particularly likable, but what can you expect since they are mainly escaped prisoners? Since I have a house in Superior, it was especially enjoyable to me to see the town. But, I was disappointed that the film failed to capture the beauty of the town.Overall, I give this a 6 out of 10. I enjoyed it but wished it would have been better scripted and acted.

You have to see this film. It is straight to DVD, but could have been a theatrical release. It is a great popcorn movie with all the elements you expect from a sci-fi- action- adventure- horror film. The scoop: Prisoners escape while being transported, and take a couple of cops and a prison doctor hostage. They make their way to the nearest small town, Salina, and everything is going perfect for the escapees. The action gets intense at this point, the escape plan unravels, and the prisoners finally come to terms with the fact that aliens are loose in Salina and are eating people one by one. The alien creatures are live action and are realistic in a SCI-FI channel monster movie kind of way. The dialogue is witty, sharp and realistic. If you like intense, sci-fi adventure, take a look at this gem. Only available from Japan now. You will need a NTSC DVD compatible player to view. Running Time: 87mins. NTSC Format Layers: single-sided/single-layered Aspect Ratio(s): 16:9 LB Vista Regional Encoding: 2

A darn tootin' good time on this movie. Lots of action, great sound track, and some very interesting visual moments. Also, some very strong acting from all of the characters.I felt like the set decoration was highly creative, the "critters" were particularly creepy, and the photography was stunning. Also, the editing really kept the pace up, so I was genuinely interested in what was going to happen to the characters throughout the entire movie.All this being said, I thought the little tag at the end was a little bit of a stretch, but it still made sense with the entire film that came before it.If you're interested in a sci-fi film with action and tension, this one's for you. Check it out!
