Almost Human Reviews
It wasn't bad, but it seemed to be a ripoff of a much earlier movie. Spoiler: Romero did it better.
It's almost really good but still not terrible.
One of my favorite movie, don't really understand the shit reviews. Totally my taste. Sci fi and horror. Abduction and all... being in Mulder.
Good movie I'm very surprised everyone is giving it a bad review Graphics weren't bad Awesome story line If you want a good scary but interesting movie watch this movie ... just wish they made a part 2
may not have the greatest effects ever but this is a hell of a movie. brutal and intense. one of the best intros i have ever seen
A surprisingly good sci-fi/horror, alien abduction movie. Most movies now coming out in this sub-genre are stale and unoriginal. Almost Human takes slasher horror gimmicks and mixes them with alien takeover.
A better movie than one could reasonably expect for what, essentially, comes across as more of a horror oriented version of Terminator. I was gonna say a more sci-fi version of it, but that would be a lie, since the first Terminator was very heavy on the sci-fi. It also had action, but not nearly as much as the second film did, which kind of did away with some elements that people enjoyed from the first one. But I digress, I honestly kind of enjoyed this movie for the most part. I would not call it good or anything of the sort, I do think that the climax and some of the 'fighting' sequences were poorly choreographed and not particularly enticing. There's plenty of gore here if that's all you want. It might not be the best gore you will ever see in a film, but I think it's pretty good and it will, at least I hope, hold some people's interest even if they may not be invested in the story. Here's the thing, though, this Joe Begos' first full-length film according to his profile on here. He has no other credits. Of course I'm sure that he's done short films and other projects with people that he hasn't been given credit for. But, as far as a first time director, Begos already has a good handle on how to build up the tension and how to pace himself so as to not peak early and have the rest of the film after that peak be considerably worse and worse. That's a big problem in horror films, honestly. Not many how to pace themselves and it ends up leading to films wasting their own potential. Begos, at the very least, does have some handle on how to tell his story to get the most out of it. It might not be a great movie, but he does manage to get more out of it than most would. Like I can imagine that, if given a bigger budget, that Begos can do so much more than I think many people would think upon watching this film. But, like I did mention at the beginning, there's some rough spots in its climax. I don't know, while parts of it were great, like the ending for example, there were also parts of it that didn't feel satisfactory given what the film was building up to. It just doesn't work as well as it should to make this a good movie. With that said, and I may not give this a glowing recommendation, it's a movie that I would still recommend to genre fans. I think there's stuff that a lot of people would like here, even if it's not particularly refined or smooth. I'm honestly really looking forward to what Begos does next, particularly if he gets a bigger budget the next time out. This isn't a good movie, but it's a decent first shot.
A ver...vamos a darle el pase a Almost Human por conseguir hacer una película con tan solo 15.000 dólares...que seguramente hayan ido a pagar al equipo y poco más porque lo que se refiere nivel de producción, el filme está escasito. Almost Human intenta ser esa película dentro de culto dentro del género que es hasta cierto punto metarreferencial sin serlo, pero el problema es que por mucho que se fije en otras obras (especialmente de Carpenter), no deja de ser un triste intento de copia sin apenas alma. Tiene algunos detalles interesantes, e incluso elementos que podrían haber desembocado en subtramas a tener muy en cuenta, pero... meh... No da miedo, no hay tensión, no hay apenas gore, no tiene algún gag macabro...te da la sensación de que le falta algo. Desgraciadamente no puedo decir algo mejor y me gutaría, pero es una película de 70 minutos que se me hizo larga, aburrida y sin ningún tipo de emoción. Lástima
It's so close to being really good! It has a good premise, lots of good tension, decent action. However, it's also pretty predictable and some of the acting is distractingly bad (although mainly with supporting cast). That said, it should still be pretty appealing to a fan of alien sci-fi horror.
Another weird alien movie once again I felt like I had seen something like this before it was alright
Almost human is so slow moving horror movie a about a guy abducted by aliens and when he comes back he starts killing off people that he knows. And he has high pitch screams. C- (2014)
Deplorable. Can Not believe I just wasted over an hour of my life watching this horsesh!t. Wow. This doesn't even deserve a Razzie Award. This just might be number one on the Top 5 list of the all-time worst movies I've had the unfortunate displeasure of suffering through...
