SCREAMERS fans should give this one a open minded look


what i expected in regards to recieveing a dvd screener to sceamers to was a sci-fi channel low budget release with the mandatory lance henrikson appearance.
as a fan of the original film i was skeptical to say the least.

i must admit although this is a B-movie it is well done,the acting is not bad(much better than the huge budget and disaster of a film in AVP:R)the FX were good and the story line and charachters had a good flow and some depth,it kept ya going until the end wich was not suprising but still i wont bash this movie as ive seen much worse

if you are a fan of the original i dont think you are going to be totally offended by this movie as i think they did the best with what they had and the end result was a pretty descent sci-fi flick.no Weller or Dupis but you do get the mandatory Lance Henrikson b-movie appearance and overall an entertaining flick.

Good, glad to hear it -- that's all I was expecting. I preordered the DVD a few days ago and I've been watching the negative reviews on here with some interest.

i must admit i was extremely sceptical and without WELLER/DUPIS it was gonna be hard to recreate the original since it was one of those serious b-movie cult classics but i think most fans if they keep an open mind will appreciate this one for what its worth.

no doubt you will have your usual talentless critics and haters but overall i enjoyed this film.

glad you pre-ordered it ...enjoy..i did!!!!!!!

Thanks! It sounds like I will enjoy it; I'm not expecting it to recapture the magic of the first one, so I'll just take it on its own terms.

I am kind of scared to watch this movie.. Watch the first movie as a kid, and well.. I don't want that feeling to come back.
