Can someone find a better ref for the budget amount? Budget number of $15,000 at top of article uses reserveresult.com as ref (budget amount doesn't seem to be mentioned in the video there). Budget number near bottom has been changed from $250,000 to £250,00 but the next ref (traileraddict.com with what seems to be same vid) seems to have no mention of the budget amount (including the video). Failed to find budget amount at Monsters website and magpictures.com. -- EarthFurst ( talk) 02:42, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Well, at London's FrightFest (August 28th 2010) the figure of £15,000 was mentioned. Twobells ( talk) 20:26, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
IMDb has an estimated $15000 here Dylan ( talk) 16:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Is the plot really this bad or did someone make it so the synopsis sucks....I haven't seen the movie..just wondering.-- Alex Maione ( talk) 19:33, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
I feel as though the current plot summary doesn't accurately convey the movie. It doesn't have a description of the ending (beginning) of the movie where the military vehicles carrying Andrew and Samantha are attacked and their fate is uncertain.
This discussion is probably only going to be cared about by Armegon, so I will mostly make this a message to you. Why does this film need all of those genre descriptors? I agree that I shouldn't have removed "independent", but "science fiction monster film" is excessive. I think we need to do a source search to see what most refer to it as. My guess is that our result will be just science fiction, which I think describes this film the best as the titular monsters seldom appear. Thoughts? Sock (pka Corvoe) (be heard) (my stuff) 11:22, 7 August 2014 (UTC) Some sources:
I'd say that's a solid list, but I didn't go through every single source (other than Allmovie and AV Club, these were just the top few critical reviews on Rotten Tomatoes). If you find more, post them here of course. But at the moment, we have seven calling it sci-fi, two calling it a monster movie, and one calling it a drama and thriller. I'm thinking, based on all of this, that the lead should say "independent science fiction film." Sock (pka Corvoe) (be heard) (my stuff) 11:50, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
This movie has so many errors its not even funny. They jump from clearly central mexico to guatemala/Mexico area with pyramids, then back to central mexico then back to central america like forests and mountains. There are NO PYRAMIDS near the US BORDER. Nor there are such kind of vegetation or that many rivers next to the US border. 187.254.145.22 ( talk) 09:26, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Grammatically fine. To be pedantic the recommended word range is 400-700 and this is just below that, is there another relevant plot point which could be included? Maybe the chronological ending being shown at the beginning of the film deserves a mention here.
There is no need for the staff list to be at the beginning of this section, it is already in the infobox. It should be removed.
Ref 3 Can't find any mention of improvising for having no camera dolly. I've checked a few other random ones and they check out, since they all have recent retrieval/archived dates I'm happy to assume good faith.
Basically just a couple of pretty minor fixes and then i'm happy to pass the article. All the Best. Biggs Pliff ( talk) 00:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
