The Burrowers (2008)

REVIEWER RATING: 
5/10


Written and directed by J. T. Petty (Mimic 3: Sentinel ), set in the west, the film has been compared to Tremors due to its similar theme of creatures from underground preying on people, but that's pretty much where the similarities end. Although slow-paced, I enjoyed the flick to an extent. It was interesting and I loved the western setting, as I think more horror flicks should be set during that period. The film plays more on mood and atmosphere rather than action, which will likely turn many people off. I personally found it refreshing, since it wasn't another genre effort relying mostly on the creatures themselves. In fact, we really don't actually see these beasts until maybe around the hour-mark.

So the film revolves around a band of men, who are in search of some missing members of a slaughtered family. Thinking it was done by local Indians, they set their sights on the nearest tribe. However, their real enemy are nocturnal creatures that burrow underground and feed the rotted living human corpses. We learn in the film that these creatures like to paralyze and bury their victims alive, so their blood can harden and organs become much softer, making them more of a treat for these foul beasts.
