Five archaeology students and their old professor are on a road trip to somewhere in the American desert. The professor has discovered a giant dagger and giant jaw bone on an expedition and is taking them to the site for further excavation. The items don't make sense however, they're unnaturally huge and malformed. Before much thought can be put into what they really are they accidentally run over an old Native American man carrying a bunch of giant eggs. They bring into a near by cabin and are told where a local hospital is so they set off. One of the guys has stolen one of the eggs and it hatches whilst in the RV unleashing a small demon creature that proceeds to attack and kill them and they fight it off and it comes back and so on.

This film is terrible. Made in 2004, it's written and directed by Cary Howe and is pretty much his first piece and hopefully his last. From the beginning you know it's going to be terrible. For almost 6 minutes we have the opening credits and a man walking in the desert. 6 minutes of a man just walking. Then we meet pur actual cast in their RV and did he just pull these people off the street? They honestly could not act, the dialogue was terrible they all just looked like people attempting to act and not managing, you were never convinced. The Indian who gives them directions was almost worst of all and just overall terrible acting. The old professor guy and the heroic muscle bound guys now and again rose to something just below mediocre but that was about it. One of the women is meant to go slightly mad at one point and she starts to put on this really weird voice which I take it is meant to make her sound intense or something but just made her look like an absolute retard who cannot act what so ever. What made this acting worse was that really echoey crappy sound equipment was used that made it sometimes sound as if it had been filmed on a home camera. You could tell that the scenes were made at different times. When the camera would move from one persons face to another there was completely different background noise.

It was a terribly written film. No-one ever reacted properly and none of it seemed natural or right. Everything was clichéd and hard to watch. One bit that I found really stupid was when the dying Indian is mumbling in his own language one of the girls claims to know some of the language and tries to translate. It's strange that some one who knows only some of the language can only work out the word apocalypse. I mean not even people who have studied a language for a while not that language's term for apocalypse and what the hell must he have been saying for a apocalypse to have been the easiest word to decipher in that sentence. Throughout the film people done stupid things and acted in stupid ways. A woman who never stopped screaming never screamed for help once during the lengthy period of her murder and so on…

The directing was horrible. A horrible, horrible film to watch entirely. The demon child thing looked like a doll that had been bought in a shop that had had a few bits glued on. Every time it attacked someone they would hold it close to them and then spasm about a lot. What was even more annoying was that baby was always accompanied by this weird echoey baby sounds. But it seemed to last only 3 seconds and they just kept playing it in a loop over and over and over and over again. Just imagine how annoying that is, listening to the same 3 seconds of sound repeatedly. No matter what the thing was doing it always made the same sound. They kept on using the same footage for the RV driving along which was annoying and there were all these long drawn-out scenes of the landscape and I have to admit I just started fast forwarding every time these came on. For the weird pyramid in the film it was like it was just a drawing we were seeing, it was quite clearly not real.

The soundtrack as well was really annoying, it kept playing all the time when it just seemed inappropriate and was just intrusive. It was your standard violin, orchestra film score whatever and it just didn't really fit and it was used far too much.

I'll give it one thing, it made me jump a bit once and that was all. Otherwise it wasn't scary, it looked cheap, it was badly directed and badly acted out and had bad special effects. I remember looking at the time left and I was so disappointed in seeing there were 30 minutes left to be watched. I got so bored at times I fast forwarded it a few times. I'm surprised I watched the entire thing as I was so close to just turning it off a couple of times. Take my advice and don't buy this DVD, don't rent it and don't even watch it if you can get it for free. It is a complete and utter failure in everyway and a waste of my time. There were several other mistakes and annoying bits in the film but I'm not going to waste any more time on this film I think I've said enough. Go and buy some cigarettes instead and burn yourself with them if you don't smoke it'd probably be more entertaining.
