Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

bowmanblue In fact... the alien in 'Altered' doesn't so much want to borrow a landline to call his mates, as batter you to death with the mouthpiece and then eat your remains while you're still warm. In short, this film contains the most angry extraterrestrial since that invisible one in the jungle that gave Arnie and his mates such a hard time.We treated to the tale of a handful of your stereotypical 'rednecks' from the 'deep south' of America – you know the types – the ones who we always laugh at when they go on the Jerry Springer show and claim to have been abducted by aliens and had a dodgy encounter with an anal probe. Anyway, these are our heroes, only they really did come into contact with beings from another world (and they probably wished that it was only anal probing that was on the menu!). In short, they drew the short end of the straw during first contact and now they're out for revenge. And, by way of an amazing coincidence, several years later they go on a hunt to their local woods and only go and capture an alien alive. Then they take him back to one of their houses and decide what to do to him.But – guess what – the slimy, green man with big teeth only goes and gets loose. All hell follows.'Altered' is hardly a classic film that will stand the tests of time for its acting, plot, originality, or generally any other praise-worthy point. But it isn't half good fun.Growing up with the exploits of Scully and Mulder during the nineties, I have fond memories for alien abduction stories. Whether they're real or not, they make a good yarn. And this one is no different. It's totally UNoriginal, but none the worse for it. It's basically a slasher film, but, instead of not knowing who the insane killer is stalking our heroes, we know from the start – the alien. It's just a question of killing the slippery little thing (and obviously staying clear of his razor-sharp teeth and claws).It's actually quite fun to root for the rednecks. I seem to have lost count of the amount of times they've been portrayed as the baddies. Now we get to see them hold their own against a hideous alien with more teeth than all of them put together. There's no real outstanding performances, although I had a strange liking for the big, dumb 'Duke.' The alien himself is seen in all its glory and is basically a man in a rubber suit, but he does his job. In fact, some of the special effects (or should I say 'gore?') are pretty impressive. So, if you like your slasher films with a healthy dose of sci-fi in there you could do worse that watching this little gem of a B-movie.Plus, special mention to the 'rope-pull intestine' scene – still makes me squeamish and I've seen this film a few times now.

leeroykincaid I started watching this movie because I saw a lot of positive reviews...now I wonder about the sanity of those people...This is THE FIRST review I ever wrote for IMDb, and this movie made me do it! At first, for a few minutes at least, it seems promising. Then it starts sliding a slope and it keeps accelerating. The acting is bad, but even worse are the characters' lines. It's as if they were retarded. A four year old would make decisions that make more sense. And the whole story, if you can call that mess a story, makes no sense at all.Then comes the production which is very cheap, but that really isn't the problem - I've seen movies with lower budgets that were great. This one had a really great potential atmosphere-wise. We've seen it all - an isolated house, a bunch of people barricading in because of the possible attack by unknown evil forces (here: alien), with a somewhat unique twist - they have one captured... it could have been at least an average flick, but - trust me - it's utter crap! They say smart people learn from other people's mistakes, and stupid ones learn from their own mistakes so I'm not sure if you'll want to hear the advice of a sucker but I did step in a load of poo here, so don't say I didn't warn you! 2/10

verndougall A movie with potential, and promise, but somehow fails to meet the ends. You could sum up the movie, by saying it performed best, with the quality it was given. In personal bias, I'll state the movie itself could expand, further with the ideas it had. Giving it, an average rating. Everything centered around that statistic, average acting, plot, but the concept of the enemy was what was interesting.The holes in the plot are minor, but they still should have had depth. How did this happen? What about this? It didn't give a deep intrigue towards this, but gave the amount necessary to at least grasp it, albeit somewhat. These are all personal thoughts, but i enjoyed the movie. A settling horror flick, around your friends, or alone, but not worth more than maybe 10 bucks.

stephen-hoyland I'd not seen this film before or even heard about It despite It being six-years-old at the time of writing, but I'm really glad that I've finally got to see It. Fifteen years before the time In which the film Is set,a group of 4 young men were - as Is gradually revealed to us as the movie progresses - abducted by a large group of humanoid aliens who are living on Earth and subjected to various experiments. One of the young men,Timmy,died and two were released,the last one,Wyatt,being selected for further 'treatment' and kept a little longer. Most of the Movie takes place In Wyatts' home but from the opening scene right through to the very end the action Is almost constant with no chance of becoming bored. The Aliens look excellent with some superb make-up and the special effects are top-notch. When one of the guys Is bitten and develops a disease, the scenes of him gradually festering and rotting away look totally convincing. Add to this a good storyline with some excellent acting, particularly from the four main characters (although there are only 6 characters plus the aliens In the whole movie)and what you have Is one of the best Movies of It's genre as I've ever seen. Excellent.
