3.0 out of 5 stars A Solid B-Movie, November 16, 2009

If you are a fan of modern creature features like "Slither", "Tremors" or "Splinter" then you will enjoy "Organizm". It's your typical mutant-biological-threat-that-can-destroy-the-world type of flick that is perfect viewing late on a Saturday night.

The basic story is that a biological weapon is unwittingly released in the American Southwest (these things always happen in or around the desert dontchyaknow?). Escaping from its confines the titular organism which looks like fleshy ropes seems unstoppable! Boring through concrete, steel, traveling underground....it doesn't seem like there is any way to stop this creepy menace as it bores into and feeds on anything in its path.

I liked the "monster" in this creature feature, it acted in a similar fashion to "The Blob"...only much quicker, and more aggressive in tracking its meals.

The special effects are a notch above Sci-Fi Channel produced movies, and the cast is made up of your typical b-movie horror character actors, but they do a good job with the what they are given.

If you are in the mood for a fun little sci-fi/horror ride, and don't mind direct to DVD effects and some loopy plot holes, give "Organizm" a shot, it's a fun 90 minutes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Organizm, May 11, 2009

This review is from: Organizm (DVD)

Organizm is a pretty solid movie that suffers from two problems. The movie contradicts itself at times, and some of the most atrocious CGI and green screen work I have ever seen. Bad CGI usually doesn't bother me because its par for the course in low budget movies, but it is just so bad that it deterred me from fully enjoying the movie. And another problem is that the movie seemed to have some sort of budget because everything else about it was pretty good, so the CGI issue really is unforgivable. Now thus far it may seem as though I'm bashing the movie, but I did enjoy it. In fact, if the CGI had been in the hands of more competent individuals, then this would have received a four star rating easily. But as it stands, we are left with a nice Sci-Fi / Horror time killer worthy of watching, but just don't expect the next classic here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superior apocalyptic bio-horror, March 30, 2011

By 

Manzikert (Moselland, Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Organizm (DVD)

I picked this up under the misleading title 'Living Hell' for 4.99 Eur in Germany and to be honest didn't have particularly high expectations having had many disappointments with similar low-budget DVD titles. Maybe there was something in the description that set it apart that I decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did. A surprisingly well-acted, well-paced and plotted bio-horror with quite an original premise. A creeping monster-virus - the result of a Cold War experiment gone horribly wrong (surprise!) - that absorbs energy to grow exponentially, remorselessly enveloping everything in its path and defying all efforts to stop it, not least the US Army's predictably mindless attempts to bomb it out of existence. Clearly done on a small-budget, the actors and the director make the most of their limited resources to produce a surprisingly convincing and reasonably scary experience that if it had a slightly larger budget, might have got more attention. I can see Hollywood seeing enough merit to do a big-budget remake. Far superior to most of the straight-to-DVD horrors you see in video stores.
