Now, hold on a second: I want to make quite clear that I already expected this film to be terrible going into it, and was sitting down for some nice camp value or something. I didn't really expect very much at all from it, except one single, tiny thing: an Alien.
It's just a simple request... and this movie completely failed my expectations.
To get anywhere near the Alien mythos would be to assume that this is a sequel to Alien Vs Predator and that hybrid thing at the end spawned a race of hybrid things that made terrible flying saucer things then went around hiding in caves protecting ancient Mayan treasures... or maybe this film has absolutely nothing about Aliens at all and is just a Predator/Independence Day/Men in Black rip-off about a bunch of annoying losers who walk around a desert all day being stupid while something that looks kind of like a cross between an action figure and a computer game chases them around.
I want to say that this movie is redeemable in that it's honest: it opens on a shot of boobs. It might as well have opened on an opening script that said, "The following is senseless lack of entertainment and should only be approached with a MST3000-ft stick," except it wasn't honest; it promised me Aliens and it didn't give me Aliens! I cannot emphasize this point much better! The case this DVD comes in has an Alien! It's name is Alien 3000! The decoration on the DVD disc has an Alien! Isn't this a good case for false advertising or something? How did the filmmakers possibly, POSSIBLY have been allowed to call this an Alien movie? Except that it's actually called Unseen Evil 2... which means it's a sequel to a completely different thing. The unseen evil is that now I can't rent a movie without wondering if the product I'm getting has any relation at all to the advertising it comes with.
About the movie itself, real quick: bad acting terrible directing not scary boring pointless stupid characters really bad effects boring opens with boobs.
