Directed by Jason Wulfsohn. Written by Malcolm Kohll and Gordon Render. Starring Scott Bairstow, Rachel Shelley, Warrick Grier, Patrick Shai and Adrienne Pierce.
Plot: a scientist finds a monster in the deserts of South Africa.
This film is really not exactly what it suggests. Workers in South Africa are disappearing and they are found without flesh. See the monsters don’t snatch bones, they snatch flesh. So, it’s already wrong. Then, Dr. Zack Straker (Bairstow) and Mikki (Shelley) get rather close rather quickly. They’ve been working together for like, one day and they’re boyfriend/girlfriend. And her ex, Karl (Grier) doesn’t like it. So, when Zack sees a monster, Karl says he’s crazy.
The rest of the movie gets even crazier. I mean, it wasn’t the most terrible movie we’ve ever seen, but it was just stupid. The rules were wonky. The story was poor. It just wasn’t that fun.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
