Final Thoughts

Despite having one of the more talented and likable stars, that you will find in a SyFy original movie, this is not one of the stronger one, and is really just in the middle of the road. It has a decent story, and a few interesting characters and settings, but it had a big lack of gore, and unlike most films of its kind, it did not show the creature (which actually looked better than usual) much, and relied largely on storytelling, and the crime aspects of the movie, which lead to its averageness. Worth watching if you see it on SyFy, but not really worth seeking out to hard.
