Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A screaming, lunging, chomping chase movie that has nothing new to bring to a genre that just won't die.
It's somewhat low-rent and thoroughly humorless - hey, the future's not funny - and, in the manner of the genre, adamantly bleak.
Becomes yet another run-from-the-ghouls exercise, cheapening decent work by a good cast.
The film strands its archetypal characters in a featureless danger zone and gives them overly familiar dialogue borrowed from a dozen other B-movies.
