ABERRATION (1997)
This movie didn't leave much of an impression on me, but I have to document my viewing experience somehow, don't I? Ordinarily, I wouldn't. You see, Aberration does not pass muster. It barely qualifies as horror. A woman looks to spend some time alone at a remote cabin and winds up playing "whack a mole" opposite a gaggle of mutant lizards. When I say "gaggle," I mean...eh, a handful. The stakes aren't very high. In fact, this "infestation" is manageable for most of the running time. Why am I using so many quotation marks? That has to be a red flag. Anyway, Aberration only becomes a bloodbath in the last 15-20 minutes, but I was already zoned out. Shockingly, there are a couple of explosion set pieces. Do you know what that means? It means a respectable budget was frittered away, relatively speaking. I would blame Hollywood, but this thing was shot in New Zealand.
So there you have it. Aberration doesn't deserve a second paragraph. There is a flash of embarrassing CGI at one point. It's rewind-worthy. Heaven, help me.
