Plots(1)
When Annie (Emmanuelle Vaugier), the alcoholic sheriff of a desolate New Mexico town, arrives at the scene of a mysterious accident, she is puzzled to discover a crab-like leg stuck to the grill of a burned-out vehicle. It later transpires that an archaeological dig has unearthed a murderous monster that's been trapped underground for 900 years and is now very, very angry with the human race. Teaming up with a group of stranded civilians, Annie must find a way to stop the beast before it wipes out everything, and everyone, in its path. (Icon Home Entertainment)

Young Indiana Jones meets Evil Dead, without a single original director’s touch and with ridiculous visual effects. A truly low-grade B-movie you neither need nor want to see.

A barely average representative of the genre “the American countryside under the attack of a monster”, whose biggest problem is that it takes itself very seriously (unlike Feast or Tremors). The entire second half takes place in the dark, which, together with the frantic editing, makes the action sequences incredibly confusing. The story is stereotypical to the tee and the characters are insipid and uninteresting, the only thing that is at least a little good is the monster, it works pretty well while the only thing you can see from it are the extremities, but the moment the creators show it in full, all that impression goes to hell. As a result, my rating is a mediocre 40%.
