"Obscene language is the refuge of those lacking the ability to say anything more intelligent."
While I am never fond of movies that resort to repeated foul language, I don't really make an issue of this in most of my reviews. That's what the Parental Advisory is for. Reviews are for reviewing the movie itself.
In this case I make an exception. Repeated F-bombing is so excessive and gratuitous it actually distracts from the plot to the point of making the film painful to watch. Which is why I stopped watching it about 7 minutes in and hit the 1-star rating... which I try to reserve for "worse than SyFy channel" movies.
The equally bad scripting makes any toleration of this flick nigh impossible. Tiny spoiler illustration: Within the first 3 minutes a woman intentionally and for no discernible reason leaves a perfectly good shelter to get stomped on by a giant monster. Dialog: "What's that sound?" "I don't know. Something big." -- Woman slowly backs out of shelter where she was totally safe, looks up, screams and is stomped.
Seriously?
I figured the plot line can only get worse from that point on. It did. I stopped it several minutes later, unable to stomach any further terrible writing. Asylum could take notes in "bad" from these script writers.
