This film had gory monsters, gruesome deaths, and characters making stupid decisions. It was refreshing in one sense because of the lack of sex and nudity. However, I was really disturbed by a sub-plot involving a Christian woman who was depicted as a religious zealot. While it quickly became clear that the woman suffered from mental problems, characters in the film felt that the woman was a fanatic as soon as she began expressing her faith. This film also dealt a lot with the issues of suicide and euthanasia. The conclusions are very disturbing. If the film’s plot had remained centered around the monster attacks, I would have appreciated it more. However, the edgier subplots left the movie feeling crowded.
This film was is not awarded our Dove Seal. There was a lot of violence in this film. There was a lot of language and most of it was Biblical profanity. The issues of euthanasia and suicide also keep this film from being a family-friendly title.
