Product Description

Mysterious scars on his body lead Frank Sears' (Johnathon Schaech, The Doom Generation) to the terrifying truth behind a top secret Cold War biological experiment buried deep below a derelict Army base. Awakened and unleashed on an unsuspecting world, the Organizm absorbs light and energy, feeds on the living and is growing at an unstoppable rate. Sears and Army hazmat specialist Carrie Freeborn (Erica Leerhsen, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 2003) only have a few hours to unlock the entity's genetic code before mankind is extinguished.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what horror/sci-fi movies are all about
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2008

With all the crap that has been released in the horror/sci-fi genre over the past few years, it's refreshing to actually watch a film that is not only entertaining, but takes you back to the days when films like The Blob scared the crap out of people...

This film pays homage to these days....

It's well written, well directed and well acted...
It's not rocket science - it's just pure entertainment - and scary

Any respectable Sci-Fi fan will understand what I am saying after watching it...

I just wish there were more films like this....
Pure entertainment and a film that I will watch many times over and over again

I did not like this movie. I felt that it did not have a good plot and it appeared to be cheaply made. I did not even look at the entire move.Don't waste your money and time as I did.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair SciFi Fare that....
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2012

This is a fair scifi offering that gets better as it progresses. When it started, I thought, oh well, another not so good science fiction that I wished was better. Then it got better.

Kind of put me in mind of the old scifi's like the Blob and The Stuff, and newer like The Ruins. Worked pretty well and became better as it went along. About a biological weapon developed late 50's and then locked away in an underground vault. Forgotten, the army base is abandoned and later scheduled for demolition. Guess what happens.

Won't ruin the story for you but it is a good addition if you get it on DVD for $7 or less shipped. One thing you'll notice is some of the computer graphics aren't great, but the creature effects are actually pretty good. It doesn't have attempts at humor like the Stuff, so don't expect that. It is a little predictable, a little slow very early on but the pace picks up. Acting is good from the main characters. A good watch you might view from time to time.

The cgi effects in this movie are actually pretty good. The acting is good and the movie is exciting and action-packed. I wasn't sure how this movie would turn out but I was very pleased and entertained when I watched this movie. It's a really neat sci fi movie and I highly recommend it.

Kind of far fetched. Seemed like they developed the hero around the cure. It was like the writers kept changing senerios and adding to the reasoning as the story plot developed, to justify the ending.

Un petit film de sciense-fiction,qui vaut le détour.Ce n'est pas un blockbuster,mais le scénario tient la route.Et les acteurs sont bons.Les deux roles principaux sont tenus par,"Erika Lehrsen"(blair witch 2) et"Johnathon Schaech" (les vampires du désert).Pour l'histoire,l'armée des Etats Unis est en train de démolire une ancienne base de recherche,lorsqu'un inconnue fait irruption sur le site,a fin de les prévenire de ne surtout pas chercher à savoir ce qui pourait se cacher au toisieme sous-sol.Mais bien sur les militaires vont immédiatement inspecter l'endroit.Dans un sarcophage dissimulé derriere un mur,ils trouvent une créature endormie et enfermé depuis la fin des années cinquante.A peine le couvercle ouvert,que," l'Organisme"s'en échappe.Ses tentacules se déploient sur tout le territoire,tuant tout ce qu'elle croise sur son passage.C'est finalement l'inconnue, qui a prévenue les militaires,qui arrivera a tuer l'organisme.Les effets speciaux sont pas trop mal,pour un petit film qui aurait mérité de plus gros moyens,car c'est vraiment tout ce qu'il manquait ,ici.

4.0 out of 5 stars Klassischer B-Movie und nur für Fans des Genres geeignet
Reviewed in Germany on August 20, 2009

Zugegeben, ich habe schon bessere Horrorfilme gesehen. Eigentlich kann man 'Living Hell' nicht einmal als einen solchen bezeichnen, denn eigentlich gehört zu einem richtigen Horror-Movie das richtige FSK-Rating. Was hierbei nicht der Fall ist. 'Living Hell' ist bereits 16 Jahren und von den Effekten her kann man hier wirklich von einer Low-Budget-Produktion sprechen.

Erica Leerhsen in der Hauptrolle ist mit Sicherheit auch einen Blick in den Film wert. Bekannt aus 'Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2', 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' und 'Wrong Turn 2: Dead End' ist sie mittlerweile nicht mehr aus dem Horror- und Splatter-Genre wegzudenken und auch in 'Living Hell' zeigt sie wieder eindrucksvoll ihre vollendete Stimmkraft mit gesamten Körpereinsatz.

Die Grundidee der Story hat man bereits in vielen anderen Filmen gesehen, aber dennoch ist der Hintergrund der Handlung sehr interessant. Ich kenne zumindest noch keinen Film, in der die Hintergrundgeschichte der 'wachsenden Bedrohung' näher erläutert worden war. Man kann auch mit Sicherheit schnell feststellen, wie der ganze Film ausgehen wird. Aber für Fans der B-Movies wird dieser Film mit Sicherheit interessant sein.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genreproduktion
Reviewed in Germany on August 26, 2009

"Living Hell" ist eine 4,5 Mio. teure Genreproduktion in Breitwandformat. Die Story ist flott erzählt und hat keine Längen. Außerdem ist sie einfach mal was anderes als dieser Einheitbrei, den man andauernd vorgesetzt bekommt. Die Effekte sind gut geraten (bis auf den Hubschrauberabsturz, bei dem ich nicht verstehe, wieso dieser im Gegensatz zu den anderen Effekten so billig gemacht wurde). Ich hatte jedenfalls sehr viel Spaß dabei. Für den Film fünf Sterne.
Jedoch: Die Synchronistation ist teilweise sehr fehlbesetzt (am besten Englisch gucken) und was den Sammler ärgert: Es gibt kein Wendecover. Andere DVD-Anbieter zeigen wie es besser geht.
