Somehow this movie doesn't make any sense, but it does. It kept me guessing... kept me saying to myself, what the **** is going on? Huh? What? I literally had nightmares the next morning. It's weirder than ****. I loved the fast-cut pacing. It was confusing but the writer/director didn't bother to explain what was going on, just left me racing to catch up. I appreciated that because I'm rather sick of the big budget films that feel they have to spell out everything that's happening to everyone watching the movie. I thought it was a cool campy sci-fi movie worth watching.

Here is a writer who had a brilliant idea, and then made the terrible mistake of putting it on film and directing it. The acting is mediocre at best, and the flow is horribly disjointed. The story, though--the story is absolutely excellent, as are the effects, props, scenery, and artwork (for the budget).Will you like this movie?If you're a true science fiction geek with any remnants of your childhood imagination (and you've had a bottle of wine.. or two) you will like--perhaps even adore this movie. I'm seriously about the imagination, you really have to meet this movie halfway.If you're a casual science fiction movie goer, who expects a captivating script, and nail-biting direction, probably not.Am *I* glad I watched it?Absolutely!3 stars off for poor story flow, and directing.

I'm really open to anything. I like the bad with the good, but WOW. It feels like i'm watching a movie done by a high schooler with money... Wait i take that back, i've seen better films by High schoolers. What really erks me is just the lack of care. Everything about this movie is to show off with effects and has no reason for being there. Doesn't add to plot or.. well anything. If you can make it past 10 minutes, awesome, you will probably like it. If not just turn it off, it gets much worse.

Honestly I had never heard about this film going in, so I had no idea what to expect. This Arrowhead is pretty good quality for something low budget, but there are times, particularly in the first scene, where you could probably guess this film had limited funds.The film certainly has many weaknesses, like a lack of subtlety, it often brings a lot of attention to details that at the time seem completely pointless and a waste of time, most of these moments eventually have a purpose but it still stood out at the time.Another weakness is consistency (spoiler paragraph), why is one alien man broken out of a rock looking egg when the other isn't? why did the protagonist find a skeleton of a woman who was not dead? most of the inconsistencies come from the whole 'monster/human hybrid' story, which to be honest I'm not convinced it was all that necessary, however that's probably just me being a tad confused as to how it all worked.As for what the film did right, it had a pretty stunning location for most of the film, near the start of the film I remember looking at the sky behind the character and liking what I saw. It was usually a very pretty film to look at. Also the scene at the start was quite intense and did get me interested.Not a great film but if you look at the IMDb page of this films director Jesse O'Brien this seems to be the first feature length film he has ever directed. While I wouldn't necessarily be anticipating a continuation on THIS story I would like to follow Jesse to see what else he comes up with next.
