This is probably one of my favorite movies. It stands up there with acting, story, and special effects. This movie has its own original idea and molded it together great. The acting is excellent with very convincing attitude. This is an excellent buddy movie with a lot of humor in it, which I cannot help but laugh every time they get into a sarcastic speal. The supporting cast was excellent and very believable. The special effects were top notch with no CGI used. These creatures were all practical using full scale puppets or miniatures. We can thank the good special effects wizards that did this movie including Dennis Stotak, Alec Gillis, and Tom Woodruff Jr, who all have an impressive resume. There is one blue screen shot used and still everything was real just used to a backdrop in a scene. The dialog was great and it was sold excellent by the actors. The movie ends with no need for a sequel, however three more become created. It's its own story, and characters with no cliché's tying to any other characters out there (for the time). The timing and direction was great. It did create good suspense and terror at times which didn't take away from its humor. It is a great movie which should have more love than it has. This is a movie you can watch time and again because it is good entertainment and has a touch of many genre's for viewing pleasure. I give this a 10 out of 10 because it still has stood time for me as a great movie with few flaws and much much entertainment value. A must own in my opinion.
