Explain to me again why these creatures evolved to be blind when their entire food source comes from above ground....in the blinding sunlight no less? And after these monsters have already killed several people the cop handcuffs Sarah to himself for.....what purpose? 'I brought you down here, I'm bringing you out' or some horrible dialogue to that extent. Did the writer for this movie actually get paid? And killing a super strong monster with razor claws with a hairpin? That's too much. Who got blown to get this movie made?Omfgroflmaonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-36461270055483039472013-01-09T12:09:45.732-05:002013-01-09T12:09:45.732-05:00This movie is pure trash.

I mean, how many ways can one persons blood fall into another persons mouth? It's his worthless parlor trick for the movie.
