This film has become famous due to the relatively small budget it was produced on. The result is actually a well produced and shot film.
However, what is unforgivable are some terrible areas of the script. Any sense of some simple rules which the audience can follow are thrown away and instead we see absolutely random rules and behaviour by the 'creatures'.
Early in the film the 'creatures' just appear and disappear purely to scare (the audience), but doing thing more. Later they appear and disappear from thin air to then kill. Later they then seemingly lose this ability and instead have to move from (A) to (B) by walking, purely to provide some action sequences for the script.
When will writers realise that a good simple set of rules are mandatory for these sorts of films. Without them, the audience soon realises that anything can happen, so why care? In short, the audience soon realises the 'creatures' could have just appeared straight away (out of thin air) standing next to the 'heroes' and just killed them instantly... So anything else is just convoluted writing purely for the sake of 'staging' action.
Shame such poor writing spoils what could have been a good film.
