Storyline

In the desert area of Hat Creek, cows are found partially devoured and the farmers believe that a wolf is attacking the cattle. The alcoholic Sheriff Annie Flynn is called by the local farmer Rob Horn to witness the remains of an animal to request reimbursement from the government and for an accident with a tank truck that is blocking the road. However, Annie sooner discovers that an ancient alien creature sent to annihilate life on Earth hundreds of years ago was released by the Indian Kale during an archaeological excavation in the desert. The Indian Caya and a group of travelers stranded in the spot without gas together with Annie and Kale try to find a means to destroy the alien and save mankind.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Short Review

Unearthed (2007): 7 out of 10 Unearthed has two strikes against it. The monster is an outright Alien rip-off complete with bad very CGI. They just would have been better off not showing it.The other strike is for a film some seriously attractive actresses (Emmanuelle Vaugier, Beau Garrett, Miranda Bailey, Whitney Able, and heck even cute older Deborah Offner) there is no T and A. This seems silly for what is, in essence, an exploitation movie.Outside of those faults, this is a better than an average monster romp. The direction is tight and creative. The acting is professional across the board. The film looks good although it tends to be too dark at times. The action scenes have some bite.Anyone who has spent some time with the grade Z five guys vs. a cartoon monster on the SciFi Channel will appreciate an above-board effort.Good gore and great action make Unearthed a worth watching. Just wish they explored the sexual tension between the twenty-something lady sheriff and the twenty-something lady scientist.
