best movie i've ever seen.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Being a Tremors fan, of course, I was going to watch this movie and I'm glad I did as it turned out to be better than some of the Tremors sequels. However, don't get me wrong this isn't a fantastic film, though I did find it entertaining.The story isn't that original and the climax is as predictable as it can be, the writers, Neil Elman, Kevin Leeson, and Steven R Monroe (who also directs) doesn't give the audience anything new or any surprises along the way. It's pretty average standard fayre for SyFy movies.Monroe however, does a slightly better job of directing and goes for the roller-coaster effect which works well. When the action starts he builds up the pace and the slows it down accordingly at other times. The trouble is he's not too good at building up tension, anticipation, and excitement; any of these would have made for a better film.It's Sean Patrick Flanery as the wise-guy treasure hunter Daniel, and George Cheung, as the self-confident police officer, Timur, that make this film an enjoyable watch. Their characters get the best lines and when they meet up you can tell theirs a chemistry between the pair as they work well off one another. The rest of the cast are also good and do a credible job with their characters and add strength to the story and film.The CGI special effects for 2010 were pretty good, remember this is a TV movie so doesn't have the production of bigger budget movies. One of the better aspects of the Death Worm were its teeth. You definitely do not want a love bite from one of these. If you like Tremors or monster movies then you may like this, it's at least worth watching when it come on again, though I'd say I wouldn't spend money on buying it.

Mongolian Death Worm, I believe was fair movie, however, there was several minor errors, in the movie itself. First of the minor errors ( i.e plot over-sites ) was that though-out the entire movie there was no actual Mongolian, of Mongolian Cyrillic script ( i.e. Cyrillic writing ). I also noticed, that there was some Chinese script, on the crates, which, somewhat made since. The police vehicle for example( literally had the word POLICE written on the vehicles doors ( in other words the word Police should have looked like this here: Цагдаагийн ( Mongolian ), or Полиция, or Mолиция ( Russian ) . The issue in regards to the 9mm, and the revolver, I also notices, in regards to replace, for which, I tend to agree with the main post review, at present. There was not that many ger's ( i.e. yurt's, depending on which way one views the concept of the Mongolian portal homes ), mostly standard army tents. A major note, and that is in regards to the constable ( i.e. the police officer. His shoulder boards had the American army rank of captain instead of Mongolian, or Russian rank. That in my opinion, is a complete plot over-site, there. Other then that the movie was quite entertaining, however, it would have been a little bit more believable if some of the actual Mongolian character names ( i.e. actor names ), would have had some actual Mongolian names, too, as well, along with some actual Mongolian speech, with a translator for the principal cast. I believe the executive producers, directors, and the script writers, should have done more research, into the making of this film, personally. Other then those few minor over-sites, the movie is strictly speaking, good for entertainment only.

Mongolian Death Worm is set in Mongolia where Daniel (Sean Patrick Flanery) has spent the last six years searching for the legendary lost tomb of Ghengis Khan & the treasures it supposedly holds, while following up a lead in the middle of the Mongolian desert Daniel is persuaded to give a lift to two young volunteer doctor's Alicia (Victoria Pratt) & Phil (Nate Rubin) who were on their way to an isolated village to treat the sick when their car broke down. Meanwhile the workers at a nearby oil refinery plant have started to mysteriously disappear, local Mongolian legends point to the Death Worm & fear spreads through the workforce. Daniel discovers that the unearthing of the tomb has awoken a nest of Death Worms that are now eating everyone they come across & breeding at a fast rate, Daniel & Alicia know that they have to destroy the Death Worm nest even if it means Daniel sees his search & treasure go up in flames...Co-written & directed by Steven R. Monroe who recently helmed the rather brutal & better than expected I Spit on Your Grave (2010) remake as well as other Sy-Fy Channel 'classics' such as Storm Cell (2008) & Ice Twisters (2009) this made for television creature feature has all the associated negatives but none of the positives. The script is as lazy (an entire oil drilling planet can be shut down & blown up by simply turning three valves?) & boring (hardly anything happens) as they come & just feels like a straight rip-off of the infinitely better giant Worm under the ground flick Tremors (1990), all the usual clichés are here with dull character's & a plot that relegates the Mongolian Death Worm to little more than a subplot. The majority of the script concentrates on the effort to get help to the sick village, Daniel's treasure hunting with a volt meter & the problems facing the boss of the oil plant as his workers leave & the Death Worms cause havoc for the machinery underground. It's all really dull stuff, at just over 80 minutes long Mongolian Death Worm feels twice that, there's no sense of urgency or excitement & the various plots about lost tombs, giant Worms & sick villages never really come together with any purpose. Mongolian Death Worm is just a very unsatisfying, boring, predictable & clichéd low budget creature feature that doesn't even have any decent monster action. Pair this up with Sand Serpents (2009) for a really horrible double bill, if you dare!The Tremors comparisons don't end with just the plot, the Mongolian Death Worms themselves look a lot like the monsters from Tremors with the expanding mouths & grabbing tongues that draw it's prey into it waiting mouth. A few people are eaten but there's no gore & there's no build-up to the attacks or anything special about them. It's all rather bland as a Mongolian Death Worm will just appear, roar a bit, grab someone & them just slither off again. The CGI effects vary from average to very poor, I have seen worse computer effects work but I wouldn't exactly call the effects good. In fact Tremors made some twenty odd years previously has more impressive effects work than this. I've never been to Mongolia but I am sure it's nothing like this, I mean wouldn't some Mongolians actually live there? Would the local cop drive around in a brand new four by four with 'Sheriff' written on the side in English & wear a stupid cowboy hat?Apparently shot in Texas you can tell the makers never went anywhere near Mongolia, the whole thing has that cheap Sy-Fy Channel look to it & is instantly forgettable. The acting is pretty bad, Sean Patrick Flanery is the name in the cast but is probably only here for the money.Mongolian Death Worm is a bad film, it's a bad Tremors rip-off that feels dated even though it was only made last year. Throughly predictable with bad CGI & a boring plot Mongolian Death Worm is one to avoid.

I, too, am a sucker for a wonderfully terrible Sci Fi movie. This movie has been somewhat entertaining. There are a bushel of bad actors,terrible special effects, and awful story line. But, my greatest disappointment has not been in the aforementioned attributes. But, in the fact that this movie was not filmed in Mongolia. More like Podunk,Montana or Lampshade, North Dakota. When first choosing to watch this movie, I thought of "Centipede," a wonderfully awful film actually filmed in India...which made it that much better (worse). I jest, but the landscape of the film is in contrast to it's title....a definite disappointment for me.
