Mayelana nale movie

Come in—if you dare. The opening-night gala for a new exhibit at Chicago's natural history museum is under way. But be advised: something terrifying wants to make sure no one ever leaves.

If you like Alien, Predator, and X-Files you may like this film though watch it as a popcorn movie with low expectations. If you though the X-Files had campy moments this is a whole other level at times. Not to forget this movie has its moments filling the void of suspense the Alien and Preditor franchise gives but setup and character responses to situations were strange at times. Dialogue also had some weird setup to deliveries too. The movie has the sauce but somehow didn't taste right.

I want to start by saying I like this film. I saw it in the the theatre when it came out, and i'm cool with buying it 25 years later. However, and I hate to rehash this this tired cliche comment, but the book was so much better. I feel like the director phoned it in. Sizemore carried this film

One of my favorite creature features... Does the movie's plot or science make any sense? Nope. And oddly I am ok with that.
