I'll tell you why so serious

I wanted to but couldn't!

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Man this movie actually started out with a lot of promise. Then the creature actually shows up. A human in a wet suit with some added garbage in this day of CGI? What a load. Until the thing showed up this movie was alright. Decent acting and writing, nice scenery if you are in a warm place since the cast is surrounded by snow, ice, and winds. Then things went to what is becoming the usual for Chiller and Syfy movies, really poor endings. There is no closure in this movie unlike most horror movies, usually the bad thing dies. The monster just goes away after killing all the males, but only after the old mom basically begs for the lives of herself and her sons fiancée. This film could have been so much more than it was.

**** This may contain spoilers **** (though its pretty spoiled already by the acting, plot and effects)Not sure how this movie rated higher than a 1, but as a huge fan of "B" movies, I can honestly say this one ranks right up there as one of the worst I have ever seen (if not THE worst). When the creature finally appeared I wasn't sure if it was a joke or if it was serious. Unfortunately, it ended up being seriously presented as a monster. Its nothing more than a guy in a black swimsuit and a fish mask, with a big fake fin on the back. I saw better Halloween costumes this year on 6 year old kids. The acting was horrible, but I don't blame the actors so much as I do the script and the plot. The lines were often simply horrible. The whole "seeing a yellow aura" after being scratched made no sense. Were they trying to insinuate the person was being turned into something like the creature, or what? You never find out. And then somehow one of the people talk their way out of being killed to it? What? This movie dropped the ball in every possible way imaginable. The character reactions, the acting (except for Michael Rooker, who did the best he could with what crummy lines he had), the effects, all of it except the setting was HORRIBLE. Even for someone who loves cheesy "B" movies, this was just bad. So much potential behind the idea, but the execution was outright abominable. I can only surmise the positive reviews were all planted. I'd rather have a burning UTI than watch this movie again.

This movie wasn't that bad really. It had the potential to be a really good little film but even though it had some good bloody scenes the actual "beast" itself was not the best. In fact, for me it was what let the film down a bit. But in saying that it was not the worst creature film I've seen. Michael Rooker was not bad in this and he was the reason I wanted to see this movie. But I thought this film could have been much better if only they spent more time on the effects and the story as it was only 70 minutes long. Again, I liked this movie but it wasn't ground breaking, but it's the kind of film you would watch on a chilly weekend when there's not much else to see. So I give it a 7 out of 10.

This movie is about a family on an ice fishing vacation. On a lake where something supernatural, prehistoric, or just plain stupid, is the top predator.Yeah, this movie is bad. I don't really remember too many details because I lost interest the very first time I caught a glimpse of the tall, lanky retard in the sh**ty, cheap Halloween costume. The acting is bad. Hell, there were a few occurrences where the same person was called 3 different characters names. In one scene, the son is called David (I think that was the characters name), Stevie (a completely different character in the same scene), and Cody I think. Then 30 seconds later, they call the dad all the same things. Hell, the hot little Asian chick refers to Mr. Pelletier (Michael Rooker) as Mr. Cote on more than one occasion. Cote was the father and son they meet on the lake. The effects were miserable. The creature effects, the special effects, any effect in this p.o.s. was just embarrassing. Seriously, the monster in this looked like either a terrible costume or a cheap bondage (whatever it's called). This movie is bad. Avoid this at all costs. Seriously, if it comes down to it, sell your kid into slavery just to not have to watch this crap.
