Sure it was a B movie, but I liked it.

This movie surprised me. I wasn't sure about it at first. Cerina is awesome. She is why I thought this one worked. The monster was brutal and I liked how it played emotional games. I saw it twice already and would probably watch it again. Now you also have to understand that it will be a little cheesy, but that helps me to get through some of them better. I say watch it! give it a chance. I think you may be surprised. September 14, 2008

Enjoyable B-Movie

Let's face it, if you are picking up "It Waits", you aren't looking for a well acted, plot driven film. Most likely you are hoping for a standard "creature feature", maybe some blood, maybe a nifty rubber & latex creature out to cause mayhem and maybe a little suspense thrown in. If that is what you are looking for, then "It Waits" fits the bill. Cerina Vincent is quietly becoming a fun Scream Queen to look for. She provides a nice little perfomance here, not relying on her...ummm assets...to carry her scenes. This time around Cerina Vincent plays a US Forest Ranger hunted by "something" that has been awakened by some pesky college archeologists. I'm not sure what the "something" is, the Indian professor who conveniently shows up two-thirds of the way through the flick to give us that handy info, isn't too clear, and he isn't really around long enough to give further explanation or clarify. That's okay though, I don't need too much back-story, and I'm not really looking for plausability in a flick called "It Waits" either. Just get the creature out there hunting the campers quickly and I'm happy.
The only real downside to the film was the lack of victims. I would have preferred this thing get a few more kills in before setting it's sights on Cerina and company. Just a few odds and ends campers, folks lost in the mountains, a small hillbilly community. The low body count was a drawback for me.
On the plus side, "It Waits" features mostly old school special effects. I'm sick of CGI monsters, and it was nice to see a genuine "guy in a rubber suit" creature. It's old school fun. The blood, while not very heavy, is effectively spilled when done as well.
If you are looking for genuine scares, maybe you should pass on "It Waits" for something else, but if you just want a fun Saturday late night creature feature flick, then give this one a shot. August 26, 2008

Creepy!

A good roller coaster ride! Terror in the deep dark woods with Cerina Vincent. What more could you want in a Horror B movie? Cerina carries the movie in an almost solo performance. Good FX and acting. Don't Wait on this one. August 14, 2008

It lacks should be the new title

Going into this I was hoping to see some good old fashioned low budget B horror. When done right, a low budget film can be just a good as anything out there. Either they can turn out to be really solid well written works or be so bad that they are hilarious. This one was neither. It fell into that desperate middle spot where it wasn't anything except boring. I really couldn't even get any laughs out of it.

The main character is played by the attractive Cerina Vincent who is primarily known for horrific acting and showing off her um..expensive assests. She plays a park ranger who spends every waking moment hitting the bottle and staying depressed over her friends accidental death. While completely intoxicated she speaks with someone in her organization who informs her she will be on her own in the woods because they had to pull some of her back up. I could explain a little more of the story but I won't even bother. Bottom line is some creature starts tearing up people it finds throughout the woods and juggs with her terrible acting is the one who has to stop it. You barely get to see the creature and finally when you do you'll wish you didn't. It looked like a rip off of the creature in Jeepers Creepers only much cheaper.

I would say "It Waits" should wait on your list of films to watch. It has nothing to offer in the field of entertainment unless you are a big Cerina Vincent fan. Then you get to watch her run around in a nice white tank top a show while she is destined to be in these type films forever. June 8, 2008

It Sucks..

It really does, this movie was terrible,
Very bad acting, very bad direction and a slow boring plot. the monster looked silly and nothing special, the special effects were really bad,
there was nothing professional about it, it was as if it was made by some amateurs..a very low budget movie that really sucked..
It starts with an attractive forest ranger who is going through what seems to be an emotional trauma because she lost her friend in a road traffic accident, and she has feelings of guilt, then hikers start dissapearing and getting killed, and its up to this psychologicaly traumatized girl to save the day and face the demons of the monster !! so cliched ! and the directiong really sucked with the type of scenes when the monster attacks, you don't really see it, but the director makes the veiwers as the eyes of the monster and you start seeing the victims running away from the camera..very silly !
I actually couldn't continue watching to the end, i really couldn't and stopped after about an hour, but im guessing the ending wouldn't add much to this mess..
Just avoid this at all costs, if you really wanna watch a horror movie done right, watch one of the 2007 After Dark Horrorfest 8 Films to Die For (Borderland / Unearthed / Tooth and Nail / Crazy Eights / Nightmare Man / The Deaths of Ian Stone / Lake Dead / Mulberry St.)..they are all some what good, except for Nightmare man which also sucked !
