Great use of the well worn trope of found footage to convey a solid message in a creepy, often frightening way…

More Nat Geo special toting pollution and political angles than horror, but all-all-all one of the more watchable found-footage genre installments…

As scientifically accurate as The Flintstones. But at least the acting wasn't very good…

A '50s premise, a '70s theme, and a new-fangled presentation. Fun stuff. Also it gets really gross and disturbing, which is meant as a compliment…

It was a decent idea for a film that had some creepy moments, lots of good gore, and a couple of surprises, but it didn't go far enough for me…

The only good thing about this movie is the acting…

A quartet of hot-air balloonists and their dog crash land on an island inhabited by bikini-clad descendants of an ancient alien race…

Stupid non-sensical violence, almost moronic, certainly the viewer is if the watch this junk…

The movie was an original attempt to give a first person view for a more involved perspective of a journalist falling into a nightmare of filming…
