TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

zardoz-13 If you're counting, somewhere between 18 and 19 minutes elapses before an alien meteor hits planet Earth, and the aliens launch their invasion. The first bad looking, B-movie alien doesn't appear until about 33 minutes have passed. Writer & director Adam R. Steigert and a quartet of scribes, including Janeen Avery, Terry Kimmel, Mark Mendola and Michael Sciabarrasi, stockpile clichés galore in this low-budget, unintentionally hilarious science fiction saga. Initially entitled "Ombis: Alien Invasion," "Not Human" reminded me a lot of the 1958 Steve McQueen cult classic chiller "The Blob." The first victim of the meteorite lives long enough for the hero to put him in his car and take him to the local doctor. No sooner has the doctor seen the victim that green slime attaches itself to her. Predictably, she screams, bleeds, and dies. The slime slips into the drain and the sheriff summons a plumber who says that he has seen everything. The poor plumber gets the surprise of his life when the slime attacks him! Later, the defunct doctor is reconstituted and kills a deputy sheriff. . The hero Mark (Jason John Beebe of "Sharknado 2: The Second One") has just enlisted in the U.S. Army when the meteor hits. Although he graduated from high school four years ago, Mark still wears his letter jacket because he says it brings him luck. He is the first of the Metzburgh resident to see the alien being with its three fingered hands and escape from it. The alien is vaguely human-like in stature. At 40 minutes, the humans bring a sample of the green slime to a high school chemistry professor, Professor O'Neil (Bill Choinski), but he too is absorbed by the stuff! He turns into a jolly green giant of a monster. The sheriff's last deputy shoots him before the deputy is himself killed. This is about the time that black-suited, anonymous government types in sunglasses show up to investigate and seal off the town. "Do not be alarmed," Mr. Gray informs the citizens at a town meeting as he explains that a containment team is on the way. A citizen infected with the alien bacteria bursts into the town hall meeting at the high school, and hysteria erupts as it infects even more citizens. Essentially, what we have is a green slime vomit session. One scene obviously played for laughs involves a babe who goes tan and turns green. Meantime, everybody is going stark, raving, berserk in the streets. Clearly, Adam R. Steigert is a better producer than he is a director. One of the most obnoxious characters, an unsavory wife-beater who abuses his two daughters dies when the alien literally blasts him out of his shoes with a powerful extraterrestrial gun. Eventually, Mr. Gray comes clean to Mark and his girlfriend: "It's an alien bacteria from another world. It's highly contagious and extremely deadly. We believe it is one of the reasons there is no life on Mars." Gray goes on to say that they call the alien predator Nemesis and that bullets have no effect on it. If this is bad enough, Gray explains that the town is already marked for destruction. Mark refuses to leave his girlfriend's mother Sara and sister Haley. Gray hands him a pistol, and Mark goes back. He tangles with Nemesis in a life and death struggle. The sheriff and the girls get away moments before the jets arrive and nuke the town. There are some end credits extra scenes.The acting is worse than worse. Everybody recites their lines as if they were reading them off cue cards. Top-billed actor Richard Satterwhite gives what qualifies as the most acceptable performance. He appears to be channeling Dwayne Johnson with his effusive delivery. His best line is: "I feel like a man with no arms in a bowling alley." One of his three deputies uttered by the funniest line: "Mark, what do you want me to say? That the world's being invaded by aliens." The graphics are phony. The green slime is pretty funny, too. It looks like the actors have been splashed with it or they wear a mask covered in green slime. Nemesis looks like a wrestler in a mask. We're talking bottom of the barrel! "Not Human" is not good!

otakutommychan The acting was awful, the dialogue even worse. Whoever wrote the script hasn't seen a sci-fi movie in his life. The characters were 2-dimensional and were portrayed as mindless drones with the IQ of children, are we really meant to believe that an officer of the law wouldn't be able to see the obvious right in front of him?The "special effects" were something right out of BBC's Chucklevision.The premise of the movie its self, however, the bare bones idea behind the movie was good and solid, a great movie COULD have been made out of the premise with a little research and a little thought; and much better dialogue.The movie is just too unbelievable to enjoy for me, the biological science behind the creatures is just ridiculous.If this movie had a better writer for the script, and cut down on the cringe-worthy dialogue that made you wanna smash your own face in with a frying pan it probably would have been OK.As it is, however, I turned it off after 40 minutes.

sgtbusmc Just picked this up at Wal-mart and thought before looking at the feature I'd get a heads up on it.....won't stop me from watching it but sounds exactly like another remake of the Blob.Person infected by meteor bearing space yuck, runs into lovelorn youngsters, they bring him to the sheriff....blah blah blah.I may be entirely wrong but of course if it worked for Steve McQueen then why the hell not try it out...the not as popular Dillon brother was in the 80's version and it was not half bad.Of course we live now in the world of remakes and it seems that half the movies sold direct to DVD are either remakes or sequels rushed to the shelves.

gcjrealtor-690-567056 I have been viewing Deftone Studios films for a couple of years now and the overall quality just increases with each release. Ombis is the best to date! Filming, scoring, and acting in this feature all showcase an incredible amount of talent from an unexpected part of the country, Buffalo, NY. I did not expect to become engrossed in the story, startled by the antagonists, rooting for the protagonists and genuinely believing in the character "Nemesis" as much as I did. The makeup for this character was top notch. The transition makeup from human to...well, not human, was also very convincing. I consider myself something of a "B" horror movie queen and Ombis is one I need to own. Rent it, own it, JUST WATCH IT. Its worth your time and will quickly become a cult favorite.
