Did not know that it was from the director of Blair Witch. Because of the director you might think this is going to be a low budget film shot in a mokumentary style with a shaky camera, but no this is a B-movie horror flick that seemed comedic, in other words campy, but it stays in the grey area of campy and serious with lots of gore but interesting story line. The story seems loosely based off of the Fire in the Sky story. It goes into more detail about the same kind of story. But that film was a drama with sci-fi sprinkled on it, so these two films won't even seem related, but if you are into UFO stuff this is all familiar territory. My main disappointment was with the alien, I didn't mind the rubber suit, it was just that I wish they had shown the typical grey alien that somehow gets morphed/adjusted for the earth forest. Kind of like how our military fatigues change for different types of terrain. Because it wasn't explained in the film, I figured that the reason why the aliens were experimenting on people and wanted Wyatt back was for warfare reasons. I imagine to the aliens we are like bacteria. They could probably easily send a biological/chemical weapon that would wipe out 99% of the population, but just like anti bacterial soap, sometimes, the bacteria can come back stronger. So I assume the aliens wanted to see how much humans can adapt and evolve, and Wyatt had been one of their best specimens that went really far. I'm obviously reading way too far into it, but it made me say to myself this makes sense and accept what was going on in the film. I'm not a gore fan and this film has plenty of it, but the fact that it made me think this much, tells me it had potential and the story was interesting. Expect a B horror film with an interesting plot, the budget however didn't seem that low actually.
