Only in Hollywood would 15 million dollars qualify as a "low budget" effort. So what do we get for that? Some really SCARY creatures, plus a director who knows how to ramp up the tension. (And some unacknowledged debts to much better efforts like Ridley Scott's "Alien").It's a big "B" picture with some "A" film-making. But please, Frank, SPARE us the Apocalypse and all the biblical references. It doesn't make this picture any more significant, and the "message" sent is totally incoherent. Is the crazed mob supposed to represent the backlash of the Religious Right after 9/11? If so, the denouement serves to prove them correct. Is that what you really wanted to say? (And did you have to wreck Marcia Gay Harden's career to do it?)
