There was something lurking?
Alright, first of all the movie was also known as “Alien vs Zombies”. What was up with that? That title couldn’t have been further from the truth. Okay, given there were some weird aliens in the movie, but zombies? Hardly qualified as zombies. They were mutants.

The movie cover, at least the one on the Danish DVD release, looks so much like an actual Alien movie cover, that it should be illegal. But of course, that is done to lure people in, to sucker people into buying it. Which I did, of course.

Let’s get on to the movie. The storyline was actually good enough, though there were some obvious lacks here and there, and you also sat there after the movie ended with a thought like “why? why was this movie necessary?”. There is a lot going on in the movie, but a lot of it actually doesn’t come full circle, and just is left hanging there, hoping the audience will forget about it.

In this movie “The Dark Lurking” you will find a lot of cliché stereotypical macho he-men running around, all of which oddly enough, have really low voices. I guess having a rough, low voice makes you more manly? And you don’t really get any real introduction to the people in the movie and why they are there in the first place. And also, what was up with the multitude of different accents being present in the movie? It just added to the confusion.

The acting was actually good enough, though the movie suffered from series of halting dialogue. At some points you just wanted to yank out hair at the root at some of the stuff people said.

What worked best for me in this movie was the dark and brooding environment. The scenery was fantastic and there was a good sense of claustrophobia in the movie. And also there was a lot of action throughout the movie. And the special effects worked quite nicely as well.

What didn’t work for me was the alien lifeforms. Wow, that was so hilarious and so unimaginative. And you just got to love those oh-so-obviously-fake-plastic spikes that were protruding from its arm. And the “zombies” (as they want us to accept them as being), well they were somewhat of a lukewarm thrill. They were mutants, plain and simple. Mutated humans, not zombies! They had lots of blood splattered on them; nice! But they looked like something from a cheesy sci-fi movie gone bad.

Actually I was sitting and waiting for Bruce Campbell to just pop out of nowhere and start kicking butt!

In overall, this movie had some good elements, but it failed to punch through, and it ended up being a confusing, lukewarm experience that you would rather not have gone through.

In outer space no one can hear you filming
And fortunately for them no one can see you filming either … But all joking aside, this movie tries really hard and I can see that some people really like it’s (low budget) appeal. It does not offer anything new though and although I appreciate the passion a reviewer put into his comment here (giving it 10/10 for one thing), but I don’t think he/she will find many people agreeing and/or admitting, that the story is great … quite the contrary.

But again, this movie does not speak to fans of big budget movies and though I am a fan of small budget movies, it just does not offer that much, that I can sink myself into. It’s kinda nice and it’s cinematography is kinda nice for the budget, the sets are OK too. There is potential here, but a lot goes wasted. On the characters on the (predicatble) story and so forth.

If you do have a heart for small movies, you might enjoy this action sci-fi try out …
