I have seen this story so many times. I can say this is one of the borest ever. It was 18:00, started watching very excited, then went boring and afterwards: like taking a sleeping pill.
Too much CGI, colour correction all of it, worst Monster ever, moustache?? Where are the four or five teeth? And what about the hair? Even if you don't see the Orloc till the very end. I have seen too many times this story, I though I could found something interesting here but instead of that I found some sleeping pills given to me, no soul in the movie, bad written.
But also I can say it is very well done in costumes, production design and make up. But the director's work is poor, the cinematography is all colour correction and the story is so boring I almost get sleep in cinema.
Better go and watch Murnau's version or Werner Herzog's great movie.
The first bad movie of the director.

I am starting to get bored of those not creative slasher movies. They are a mix of troubled ideas that we have watched over the years in films over the decades. We need more Tarantino like ideas, Paul Thomas Anderson, Nolan, and new ones. It is a pitty that we don't have Kurosawa, Tarkowsky, Huston, Ford, Fassbinder.... But we still have got Wim Wenders, Herzog, and new and fresh directing ideas from new women directors. Zöe Kravitz, Lenny's daughter is a great one, she made a horror movie, her fist one and that was good, BLIK TWICE.
But we are alone, the lovers of cinema with that kind of films that you watch and they don't tell you anything, cause everything is the same no matter who acts or directed it. And the critics say they are good movies. Years pass and new fresh people are writting about new cinema, but they should watch more classic movies, Fellinni, De sica... The great ones from Italy, from France, Scandinavian the new Iscelandic cinema... Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Charles Chaplin, Stan And Ollie... I don't think people who made this movie love them or even seen anything of them.
We still have great authors like P. T. Anderson, Wes Anderson, Aronofsky, Tarantino, Wenders...lets center on their cinema and don't waste your time with things like that.
Seeing gore is no more like the George A . Romero movies, the Alien first years, the Peter Jackson two first films, Cronenberg...
Now we are not talking about art. The make up FX are really good, but wasted with bad direction and acting plus nonsense of a screenplay, no creativity and boredom. I am not going to cinema to pay this type of movies that are now in their time. No creativity in Hollywood. It is our time, in Europe!
Don't waste your time watching these, go to classics instead please. Learn write and take the authors of the 20th Century from the very first in 1900 till 2000 and learn about good cinema. But please, if you've done that, give a time to yourself to create something. There are few like Fassbinder Woody Allen or Soderbergh. If you don't have the creativity don't do anything; just wait like Tarantino or Kubrick. If it takes you 20 years like Terrence Malick to do a movie do it and prepare yourself to be a good artist. Don't waste your time with stupidities like that, please.

It is one good of a movie. It has a lot of funny moments. Has also a lot of homage to a lot of sci fi movies like Superman, King Kong, Alien, Encounters of the Third Kind, 50's movies... In a funny and natural way. Look at the cast!
It diserves better rate. It is underrated. The first character is so funny, their mates at work... It is surreal. Very good and the monster looks more convincing than other movies. It is also Kevin Peter Hall who wears the suit of Alien or Predator.
Really it deserves more rate than it has. The director should do much more, he had talent, but that and the VHS premiere in 1986 when it was made in 1983... That should be looked as the first movie of a good talent. What a shame.
