I have always loved this film from the moment I saw it in the cinema twenty years ago. The monster is grotesque yet somehow close enough to the human form to be worryingly familiar. Schwarzenegger is at his best as a very human hero desperately trying to get out of an impossible situation in the middle of a ever dangerous jungle. The special effects, especially as regards the monster itself, are great. He/it is so ugly! If you are looking for a logical, intellectual film , well this is not for you, If you are looking for a classic action film which has dated very little considering the lapse of time and the development in special effects, with lots of action and body count this is the one for you.
