It’s been years since I read the original story, but weren’t the mutants in it classier? Weren’t they an organized civilization living underground that the rest of the world just didn’t know about? Or did I just wish they were?

In the movie they look like unintelligent demons with an anti-evolutionary gnarl of pointless needle teeth. I’d of loved the movie a lot more if the creatures under the earth seemed capable of organizing the meat train and their secret hold over mankind. Instead they just looked like monsters-of-the-week that stumbled off the 7 year old set of “Buffy”.

Sean, if I recall correctly Comcast owns FEARnet, but I believe they license it to other cable carriers as well. No satellite, though. You may dig the movie more than I did. I didn’t hate it by any means, but yeah, it wouldn’t have been worth a trek to an outskirt theater, me thinks.

Matt, hah, at least someone got the reference. Don’t worry, Kitamura’s work here is far less goofy Matrix ripoff.

But hell, Oct 30th, a free viewing. I can’t miss out on that…

And, this sucks, I scoured the listings for a theatre that played this and was totally bummed because I couldn’t find it. Kind of sad to find out it apparently wasn’t worth all that effort.
