Man, I LOVE digital cable and movies on demand. I end up renting movies I would probably never pick up at the video store simply because it's so convenient. This movie was damn good, amazing for a low budget horror flick.
It had a novel approach in the way it started somewhere in the middle of the chronology of the story arc. It takes you a while to get enough backstory to understand what is going on but once you do you're hooked. The acting was very good and the pacing was relentless, almost like a James Cameron action flick. You can't go to the bathroom without missing a vital part of the movie, so much happens during the film.
The MAKEUP and EFFECTS were far, far beyond a small budget movie. Whoever designed them is obviously going to be regularly employed in Hollywood. The alien suit while obviously worn by a human was excellent! The manner of death for one of the humans was something I've never seen in a movie before, you'll understand when you see it.
I wish I could run across more movies like these but you've got to kiss a thousand frogs before you find a prince, I guess.
