When I sat down to watch this, I expected my normal 1-2 star B movie. I was pleasantly surprised. This South African production is rather thrilling. Though at times the pace seems to slow down. And only a couple of plot line inconsistencies. Considering that this is a low budget B movie, the monster was done well. Zack Straker, played by Scott Bairstow, is an engineer assigned to a remote mining camp in the South African desert. On his way to camp, they find two bodies stripped of all their flesh. Our band of characters start looking for the person or persons they think did these murders. All the while finding more stripped bodies on the trail they follow. All stripped of their flesh. It will have you on the edge. Eventually they find out they are not tracking a man. Our scientist wants to study it, while the rest wisely want to kill it. I would not go out of my way to see this movie. But it does deliver good low cost thrills you expect form this type of low budget movie. Exactly what we look for in low cost horror films. So, if you are a "B" movie fan, see it.Read full review
Good opening scene, followed by several boring scenes of military people talking. Finally the military types go into the desert to search for the guys who disappeared in the opening scene. They find out the guys have been killed by flesh-eating ants. It then becomes a pretty typical flesh-eating-ants horror movie. Some blood, no real shocks, the action scenes are separated by boring stretches...and the most interesting characters get killed off too soon. Not the worst film I've ever seen, but ultimately forgettable.
From what I had heard I expected greatness like "The Thing" in the desert or something. Instead I got two hours of wasted time. The cast is not bad but the plot & characters are uninteresting from beginning to end & the acting feels forced at most times. The creature was not as interesting as I wanted it to be. Turned out to be just some big bug. Can't recommend this to anyone so STAY AWAY if you can. 2/5
I love any kind of horror movies. The picture on the cover of dvd looked good and sounded like a good movie.
