When I sat down to watch "Alien Lockdown" (aka "Creature"), I hadn't even heard about the movie, nor did I even know who starred in it. I will say that when I saw John Savage's name on the screen, I felt that there was potential for the movie being adequate.
It should be said that "Alien Lockdown" is a low budget movie. And while that is being said, I will also have to say that I have seen far worse low budget sci-fi horror movies than this one.
The movie is about some alien creature going on a rampage in an isolated facility, and a group of highly trained soldiers are sent in to take care of the situation. However, they come to learn some dark truths and find that all are not playing on the same team.
The creature or alien in the movie was a strange hybrid of three already famous movie monsters; the xenomorph (from the "Alien" franchise), the Yautja (the predator creature from the "Predator" franchise) and the Brundlefly (from "The Fly"). And truth be told, then it actually worked out well enough, despite it not really being all that menacing or having quite enough time on the screen.
As for the acting in the movie, well people were doing good jobs with their given roles, and it was indeed John Savage (playing Dr. Woodman) and Michelle Goh (playing Talon) whom stood out as the most memorable performances in the movie.
There is a good amount of action throughout the movie, but it just doesn't make up for the low budget feel to the movie.
All in all, a less than average sci-fi horror movie, but it is worth watching a single time if you have nothing else at hand.
