Seems like Paramount, in their attempt to get into the monster-horror genre, spliced in two movies, one a crime-drama the other a monster sci-fi thriller, and makes for an entertaining (if not silly) little flick, though still pretty weak. As the movie was nearing the halfway point of a short 65-minute running time, I was wondering when the monster was going to come in... **2.75/5**
