Yes, I watched the whole thing. I kept laughing through most of it, when I wasn't feeling sick to my stomach from gratuitous blood, viscera, and black or red slime. No, there are no aliens in this movie. No, there are no zombies in this movie. Zip. Zilcho. Not a one. If you LOVE gratuitous gore used in place of a halfway decent story, this is for you. If you LIVE FOR pastiches of other movies with not a single original idea, this is for you. (If you don't know what a pastiche is, that's when an idiot puts together more than one story other people came up with and pretends the combo is a new idea. This movie is a straight "Alien 1" plus a straight "Resident Evil 1" plus...are you ready for this...? Oh, how about I don't tell you, you can guess when I explain what IS in this movie, since it has no aliens and no zombies.What IS in this movie is....THE DEVIL! When you stop laughing and can keep reading, well, let me tell you...that's what all those spiky no-not-an-alien and bubbly no-not-a-zombie things are. (And the tentacle monster as well!) They are MINIONS. That's what happens when the "infected" die off...the demonic biomatter in them begins restructuring them into minions of Lucifer...which is the dead body that the research team has bought from Russia where it was stored since being discovered in WWII and has been pulling DNA from and cloning...and how do I know this? The head scientist tells the mercenaries that near the end.See what you find out when you actually watch the entire turkey? Anyway, there you have your third movie that was mixed into this mess.It only deserves a one because the spaceship was nicely done, and the actors really tried hard.

And here i thought that one could not find a movie with such bad screenplay and acting that it actually makes you wish that you would rather have spent your money on a Uwe Boll Production instead of this one. The acting alone leaves you wondering if any of the filmmakers actually watched it before releasing it since its so bad that i wouldn't have tolerated such poor skill even from kindergardeners performing a play for the Deaf&Blind.Next we have the screenplay, how on earth they dare lure people with the pretense that it would have anything to do with the "Alien" movies is beyond me, although i kinda laughed mid-film when suddenly the movie, just out of nowhere, becomes more like a sci-fi sequel to "the Exorcist" and in doing so throws all of the earlier "Alien" references straight out the window. I actually upon returning the movie to the rental place tried to make them change the very misleading box-cover since here in Sweden its named "Alien vs Zombies" when it clearly comes closer to being "Species vs The Exorcist". Well they didn't want to change it so here i am writing this "review" or rather "warning" wishing that nobody else wastes their money renting something this horrible.The only reason why this didn't get the absolute bottom rating from me is that the I've seen worse special effects even tho these don't even come close to being mediocre considering this year and age, and also mainly because after watching this i probably will appreciate the next movie i watch even more.

What happens when you expand 5 minutes of plot into two hours of film...The plot is that a bunch of mad scientists are trying to clone Lucifer, and she turns out to be a hot chick who doesn't know she's evil. Or something. It's actually just the bare minimum to hang a bunch of gore scenes on as a demo for FX guys trying to get real jobs.The acting is just awful, with the stilted dialog and people who just couldn't wait to get paid, apparently. There's just nothing here that is worth watching.What made the alien movies interesting was the people. The many people who do ripoffs just don't understand this.

The Dark Lurking, I never seen any review of it. While visiting a convention there was a shop with special editions of horror flicks, guess what, there was a hologram DVD cover of a movie called Alien vs Zombies. The cover looked great but it was stated uncut so I thought, is it something worth buying. I bought it and luckily didn't regret it. It isn't an original storyline. You can see samples from Pandorum, Alien and Resident Evil. The spaceship is indeed a look-a-like of the Nostromo, flashing lights and sound i mean, the leading lady is a bit of a Sigourney Weaver clone, as do her clothes. But no worry, it's indeed a good storyline, not only about zombies or carriers and aliens but there's something else going on, only revealed at the end. Sometimes it's a bit too much of zombie attacks. But when they attack or the aliens attack it's all about gore. Intestines flying around, heads being shot, you know what you will get when you are just starting to watch it. It never bored me. I definitely would classify it under science fiction horror. A must see.
