The Dark Lurking (2010)

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Yes, I watched the whole thing. I kept laughing through most of it, when I wasn't feeling sick to my stomach from gratuitous blood, viscera, and black or red slime. No, there are no aliens in this movie. No, there are no zombies in this movie. Zip. Zilcho. Not a one. If you LOVE gratuitous gore used in place of a halfway decent story, this is for you. If you LIVE FOR pastiches of other movies with not a single original idea, this is for you. (If you don't know what a pastiche is, that's when an idiot puts together more than one story other people came up with and pretends the combo is a new idea. This movie is a straight "Alien 1" plus a straight "Resident Evil 1" plus...are you ready for this...? Oh, how about I don't tell you, you can guess when I explain what IS in this movie, since it has no aliens and no zombies.What IS in this movie is....THE DEVIL! When you stop laughing and can keep reading, well, let me tell you...that's what all those spiky no-not-an-alien and bubbly no-not-a-zombie things are. (And the tentacle monster as well!) They are MINIONS. That's what happens when the "infected" die off...the demonic biomatter in them begins restructuring them into minions of Lucifer...which is the dead body that the research team has bought from Russia where it was stored since being discovered in WWII and has been pulling DNA from and cloning...and how do I know this? The head scientist tells the mercenaries that near the end.See what you find out when you actually watch the entire turkey? Anyway, there you have your third movie that was mixed into this mess.It only deserves a one because the spaceship was nicely done, and the actors really tried hard.

NO SPOILERS (this one couldn't be spoiled anyway :D) First of all.. I didn't pay for this one, I thought this was funny etc. but I bored in middle .. graah.Nice acting, horrible dialogue, stupid plot, OK effects etc, crappy screenplay :| and some "ripley" kinda wannabe there.Well with these things this deserves 3/10 at least :D not much else to say. The could name these little 'sensible'.After all I didn't get much out of this, stupid "zombies" running around in weird plot, stupid directing, clichés and all argh. :) Didn't even laugh.3/10 from me maybe some kids like this, zombies looked like some fkn Er. whatever :D

First when I saw it in the movie store I was like "Wow, a new Alien vs. (something random) movie, just have to see it". Then when I started it up and saw the really f***ed up filming I almost went to get my binoculars just so I could turn them around and be a bit further away from the screen. It's like the director wanted to catch every single drop of sweat that the actors left behind. To give you guys a slight idea on how close it was, it's the type of close you only let your girl get too.That combined with awful acting, not one can say they did good on this movie, not really easy though when the camera is pushed right up in your face. Still no excuse.I couldn't stand to watch more than 15 minutes, so if you don't want to waste as much time as I did, just don't watch it. If you do want to watch more than I did, embrace yourself, your eyes will start begging for mercy pretty quick.

And here i thought that one could not find a movie with such bad screenplay and acting that it actually makes you wish that you would rather have spent your money on a Uwe Boll Production instead of this one. The acting alone leaves you wondering if any of the filmmakers actually watched it before releasing it since its so bad that i wouldn't have tolerated such poor skill even from kindergardeners performing a play for the Deaf&Blind.Next we have the screenplay, how on earth they dare lure people with the pretense that it would have anything to do with the "Alien" movies is beyond me, although i kinda laughed mid-film when suddenly the movie, just out of nowhere, becomes more like a sci-fi sequel to "the Exorcist" and in doing so throws all of the earlier "Alien" references straight out the window. I actually upon returning the movie to the rental place tried to make them change the very misleading box-cover since here in Sweden its named "Alien vs Zombies" when it clearly comes closer to being "Species vs The Exorcist". Well they didn't want to change it so here i am writing this "review" or rather "warning" wishing that nobody else wastes their money renting something this horrible.The only reason why this didn't get the absolute bottom rating from me is that the I've seen worse special effects even tho these don't even come close to being mediocre considering this year and age, and also mainly because after watching this i probably will appreciate the next movie i watch even more.
