2.0 out of 5 stars STANDARD SCI FI FARE, July 6, 2004

This review is from: Within the Rock (DVD)

One of the main problems in this low budget sci fi flick is its failure to show us the monster in full detail. A combination of ALIEN and ARMAGEDDON, WITHIN THE ROCK offers us a mining crew on a strange moon that is hurtling towards the earth. A doctor is on board to help divert the orbit of the moon. What they don't know is that the moon is harboring a million year old demon imprisoned by an alien civilization. The monster cannot function in oxygen-saturated air, so the crew decides it must battle it with nitrogen. The cast includes Xander Berkeley in his typical villain role as the money-grubbing manager of the mine crew; Caroline Barclay in a lifeless portrayal of the doctor; Brandon Tatum and Brian Krause as the gungho brothers--they're actually pretty good; Calvin Levels in his typical brother role; and Michael Zelniker as the computer nerd Archer, who is also quite good. The direction is amatuerish and the movie moves a little too slowly;it is also atrociously edited and lit. Not a horrible film, just not a good horror film.

One of the most striking elements of a monster movie is the monster itself, of course. This is why I can't give this movie more than 3 stars. The moment when the creature was being brought back to life was quite good, but I agree with the other customer who said the monster doesn't appear enough, and when it does one can't help feeling that it is a man inside a rubber suit. After all, it's a B movie! Yet, it kept me interested and it worth a try .But I would only recommend it to the fans of this genre.

What a horrific movie! It's scary and bloody. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's worth watching over and over again no matter how many times.
