This reminds me alot of William Blatty and is about as good as his "Sorcerer" if not "The Exorcist".  An estranged couple on a hideously awful (is there another kind? ) camping trip face the truth of their relationship as well as what seems to be a coordinated attack on the part of ALL OF NATURE.  We've all had days when everything seems to be going against us, but how often does it involve Sea Cows?  So they are in some real hot water for sure at a camp ground you can only find....in the Twilight Zone.    5/5

I was kind of p**sed it got alot of  bad reviews at netflix.   It's alot better than a typical animals attack horror movie not that I don't like those.

I've noticed there were some reallly good movie sin the 70's that kind of phoned in some quasi-disaster movie, quasi conspiracy movie  elements to get people to see them.  Like I just watched "Brubaker" starring robert redford where he is this prison warden trying to reform a prison.  but they had to add a thing abuot the state covering up some big secret.  not that it ruins the movie but it's kind of besides the point.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
