Unearthed (2007) 5/10

Unearthed is one of the "8 Films to Die For" and I'm starting to think this year's crop must have been a dud.

Unearthed is about a crazy creature out in the woods that has been, as you might have guessed, unearthed. The creature is set to kill all humans around and it's up to a very hot and young and alcoholic (?) and totally unbelievable sheriff to save the day.

Unearthed is action packed but in a sci-fi channel movie kind of action packed. Although the flick was shot on film, it still seems cheap. Perhaps because our main protagonist is totally ridiculous. I mean, what sheriff, hot boozer or not, can't even button up her official sheriff shirt? The whole film just feels weak and well worn. Sure I love creature features and I applaud the attempt and doing something new but the creature is lame and the action is weak.

At the end of the day the film is watchable but by the end, I really just didn't care anymore. This one's a miss.

Overall - 5/10
