    Not a very good movie.  
    
    Take talented actors and an interesting premise wasted on a bad script
    full of every horror cliche in existance, choppy editing, dumb
    characters, dark  cinematography, add a CGI monster and there ya go.  
    
    Not spooky at all.  Kinda boring, actually.
    
    There was one part where I thought the monster looked kinda cool
    (behind a spoiler below).
    
    
    *.5 out of ****

    Saw this last week.  A big disappointment, especially after
    hearing it being compared to "Alien".  Way too many plot
    holes (for example, you have to be willing to believe that 
    the Chicago Natural History Museum has a security system that
    would put Fort Knox to shame).  I agree with .-1 about the
    one special effect, but it's not worth paying $7 for.  Wait
    for the video if you must see this one - with one exception:
    if you enjoy seeing people getting their heads ripped off, then
    this is *the* movie you've been waiting for all your life.
    
    To sum up:
    
    	For normal people: * out of ****
    	For decapitophiles: ***** out of ****
