The Rig -

I wasn't going to post a review for a while unless the movie was better than the average horror movie. But The Rig is so bad and should be avoided at all costs that I just had to post so if anyone considered watching it they should know before hand.

The movie is obviously inspired by far better horror movies like The Thing, Alien, etc. The Rig company is even named after the company in Alien. So I decided to watch it. People trapped on an oil rig in the middle of a storm. They can't leave till the storm is over and a monster is hunting them. Sounds like a good premise. Many shots are setup like The Thing. But everything else is so far from that classic horror movie. Around the second or third death I actually laughed. It's just so cheesy.

There is a review by "Harry Barracuda" on IMDB that sums it up perfectly. "This movie should give hope to all aspiring film makers...If someone can take a script this bad and a cast so poor and still persuade people to hand their money over to it, then, if you're an aspiring movie maker, you should be ecstatic."

The movie is horrible.
