Movie Journal Entry #78: Mutant Chronicles (2008)

Mutant Chronicles
Another movie from last year that no one saw, Mutant Chronicles is a pretty low budget indy movie starring Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman about an evil machine from space that turns people into monsters.
You'd expect the movie to be somewhat original as it isn't coming from a big studio and its concept is somewhat different then what we would normally see from these kinds of movies. The execution is, however, a complete failure. Taking its plot points from "Hollywood filmaking 101" we are treated with some great original lines like:
Dude 1:"Tell my family.... tell my family, I love them! Argh!!!" followed by Dude 2:"NOOOOOOO!!!"
The acting is pretty bad, even though I like Thomas Jane and the over stylized blood and gore just looks wierd, maybe because I watched it in Blu-Ray but all the effects looked really fake as well.
Bad movie, don't see it we need to expect more from these lower budget movies.
