• The future holds Aliens ...

  Or whatever you want to call them. Other dimension beings? Now I really didn't think too much while watching this. This is supposed to be fun. And for the budget they had, this is pretty decent. Suspense is high, effects are pretty good (again always considering the budget restrains), script seems decent and acting is ok too. If you fancy this kind of movies, you will have fun. It's a bit of a throwback to a time when the 80s ruled, when you had stock characters, puns around almost every corner and many other things. Nothing special overall, but a fun little movie that will work for some more than for others

  So much potential. I love the idea but it was not executed well. I think it needed a more experienced director / producer team. I do think there's potential with these guys though.

  Yet another alien and spaced movie, and if this were to be the reciept how to get rid of space aliens, or elder gods as they call them in this flick, then mankind would have been doomed,both vertically and horizontally. its a daft dum,silly and extremely empty story, with a bunch of humans in a secret site inside a mountain(probably a closed factory building) somewher in great britain, were the do contain, and deport every elderly god the can catch. where they deport the are hard to say,but to an eclipsed sun might be a good suggestion. acting are so cheap and amateurishly done,and nearly made me feel sick. there are some well choreographed fights after 35 minutes in the flick, but thats the only bright moment. the special effect are made on windows paint, and the story must have been found on a london underground lavatory wall, because its either a madmans work or the biggest fraud in recent british history, called''black site''. its dark smokey and greyish, its supposed to be militant, but that is on a millimeter scale. the score are terrible, and like its shuffled in from another movie with a different story and plot. howcome choice of film music and and original score made as bad as this is a mystery for me.have a look an' liten, do you feel any sensations of suspence or action with this kinda score???! this was really a painfilled, bad try of making a independent sci-fi-movie,and will not be rewatched by the grumpy old man. so as the video killed the radio star,this film bears all signs of newbieness to the tip of your fingernail. a weak 2 and not recommended

  Arriving at a secure military facility, a technician at a site where they send various beings from different dimensions back to their homeland finds himself thrust into battle when an intended deportee has his staff invade the site to free him and must endure a battle for humanity. This was quite an enjoyable and somewhat intriguing effort. One of the biggest aspects to be had here is the fact that there's a rather clever and complex backstory at the heart of the film. The central basis of this location keeping a dangerous race of vicious beings from invading the world, featuring elements of black magic and protection spells that are used to ensure that setup, works rather well to bring this out to a solid start. This setup offers the kind of structure system for the rest of this one, managing to admirably fit together within the parameters of a military compound that's staged to be a manner of sending them back to an alternate dimension incapable of returning back to our society. That also leads to the outbursts of action in here that are rather spotty but have some rather enjoyable elements featured here. The few brawls here between the various agents of the military facility has some nice hard-hitting action with the fine addition of some stellar swordplay as well. With that setting up the more generally impressive military tactics within the compound where they're forced to battle the numerous soldiers coming in to rescue the captured being. This all manages to offer up some exciting moments when it occurs. There are a few issues here, though. The main problem is that the film, for all the good it does at setting up the mythology in this universe, there's some absolutely confusing material in here. It takes way too long to figure out that the entire point of their attack on the base is to allow him to transform in order to allow him to reunite with his beloved who has already gone through the process. Not only is that finally revealed at the very end but it's handled through a series of intense and overblown conversations that are intended to drive that out easier than what it eventually shows and that makes for an immensely confusing and convoluted effort. As well, the film is just outright boring and bland. The idea of this one being based solely on the endless conversations and pretentious dialog that goes on between the group and the diabolical being which just turns the middle section into an endless drag and relieves a lot of the tension and suspense that had been built up by then. Simply watching this supposedly evil being just standing around spouting off threats about the downfall of humanity drains the film of action, lessens the intensity and undoes a lot of fun to be had here. These are the biggest issues overall. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
