Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (03/10/2000)

Movieline - pp.36-7 - Stephen Farber

"...Superior stuff....A craftily crafted and stylishly shot outer-spacer..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
Total Film - Simon Crook (08/01/2000)

"...The movie shrewdly taps into the lurking primal terrors of anyone who ever had to sleep with a night light..."
New York Times - Stephen Holden (02/18/2000)

"...Vin Diesel's demeanor is refreshing and the combination of his voice and physical build make his character memorable....Not since the coming of the Terminator has there been an anti-hero so worth cheering..."
Box Office - Dwayne E. Leslie (03/01/2000)

"...[Twohy] brings maximum razzle-dazzle and energy to the film....[Vin Diesel] has an intelligence and authority to match his imposing physical presence..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (02/18/2000)

"...Deisel has so much presence that you don't look away when he's on-screen."
Movieline - Stephen Farber (03/01/2000)

Hide-behind-a-cushion science fiction horror film about a small group of survivors from a spaceship crash who find themselves on a weird planet where being afraid of the dark takes on a whole new meaning. The local inhabitants turn out to be flesh-eating little monsters who only come out to hunt for their prey at night. Van Diesel does well as a dangerous bad guy who becomes the group's only hope of survival.

Vin Diesel in Good Movie Shock!

Created: 15/12/09
Vin Diesel is a dangerous convict being transported alongside fee-paying passengers onboard a space freighter when a collision with debris forces the ship to crash-land onto an apparently deserted planet.
The survivors assume that the prisoner is their only enemy - wrong!
This movie is an enjoyable sci-fi romp in the Alien mold and while not breaking any new ground, the special effects are very good, the script is OK and the pace never falters. Enjoy!
