The Dark Lurking (2009)

aka Alien vs Zombies: The Dead Lurking, aka Alien Undead

This film probably got most of its negative reviews when under titles that suggest there are aliens and zombies in it (there are not). Beside some atrocious acting and poor dialogue, and shooting everything in the dark in close-up and then editing to a frenzied pace, this is actually a pretty watchable flick. The monsters, which come from cloning DNA found in Russia during WW II and whose origin is a neat, though confounding, twist - if you think about it at all, the film unravels - are done well and they kill people in exciting and gruesome ways. The film looks surprisingly good for its budget. It's worth a watch, if you don't expect too much from it.
