This is a really, really terrible Sci Fi Channel movie, a film that's bad even by their diabolical standards. Marketed as some kind of cheapie monster horror, instead this turns out to be a low-rent action adventure (think Indiana Jones with ghoulies) filmed on the cheap in Romania and without a single redeeming value to recommend it.The film's worthless plot sees an evil North Korean general (aren't they all?) hunting down the fabled sword of Attila the Hun, which will grant all manner of special powers. Unfortunately, Cerberus (the three-headed dog that guards the gates to Hell in Greek mythology) is on the loose, munching his way through various non-entities low down on the cast list.CERBERUS is a complete failure as a film. 95% of the scenes take place in almost total pitch blackness, so that you can't see the true horror of the dodgy CGI effects. The acting sucks, there are no recognisable cast members, and the script is equally diabolical with no interesting scenes or people and no recognisable beginning, middle or end. Needless to say, I hated this with a vengeance.

Why do I watch these things? In the forlorn hope that they might turn out to be better than I know they are going to be.See, the acting and script may be OK (well, let's be honest, generic baddie is over the top and down the other side), but there are these two things to consider...One is the gore. There's quite a lot of it and it is utterly unconvincing. This is probably not a bad thing. However...The second is Cerberus himself. Cerberus is, I'm afraid, downright bad. Bad CGI of a bad design animated badly and integrated badly into background plates. It would have been more convincing if they had used a giant cardboard cutout (and I have a feeling that, in some scenes, they may have done just that).Because the film is actually named after its least successful - by which I mean completely unsuccessful - element, the verdict must be "failure."

I found the dialogue, particularly Emmanuelle Vaugier's, very hard to follow. The whole movie was pathetic. I forced myself to watch it all, believing that it would improve.All the actors in this movie are very experienced (based on their filmographies), so you'd expect they would be able to make something out of a very trite and superficial script.The special(?) effects were hardly believable - When people lost limbs, it reminded me of the Bridge scene between King Arthur and the Knight from Monty Python and The Holy Grail.Not even the eye candy made up for it.

Sci-Fi channel presents CERBERUS: a three-headed dog that guards the gates of Hell. The CGI is not that obtrusive, actually blended better than a lot out there. Before the breastplate belonging to Attila the Hun can be shipped to NYC for exhibition it is stolen. It is suppose to give clues to where the fabled battle sword is located...one restriction is that even if the clue is found, the sword is guarded by a three-headed dog. Greg Evigan plays the bad ass greed monger that intends to be invincible by having possession of Attila's sword. Supporting cast includes: Emmanuelle Vaugier, Garret Sato, Brent Florence and KB Nau.
