"Vaugier is the film's greatest asset...she's a little bit Audrey Hepburn and a little bit Philip Marlowe, all stuffed into a skimpy muscle tank." Julia Sirmons, New York Cool Magazine
"There are some nice atmospheric shots of the desert at night...that perfectly set the scene for a simple, enjoyable monster movie." Steve Biodrowski, Cinefantastique Online

After the broad splatstick of zombie comedy "Dead and Breakfast," writer-director Matthew Leutwyler delivers straightfaced horror in "Unearthed." Derivative but OK killer-from-beyond plays like a slightly slicker replay of last year's "Feast"...Capable cast reps the usual array of sexy, eccentric and/or ethnically diverse types, whose ranks naturally thin fast. Chief among them are the town's improbable ass-kicking babe Sheriff (Emmanuelle Vaugier), the cranky leave-me-alone rancher (M.C. Gainey), wisecracking black dude (Charlie Murphy), cornily ancient-wisdom-spouting Native American (Russell Means) and his botanist daughter (Tonantzin Carmelo). Formulaic script offers few new wrinkles on familiar genre tropes, but it's all handled expediently and provides enough gotcha! moments to keep horror fans entertained...FX, score and other production values are above-average given likely modest means, but jeez, this kind of hand-held lensing epilepsy was already tired six months after the original "Blair Witch." - Dennis Harvey
