Absolutely terrible rip-off of several other better films.

OMG it's worse than "Connie & Carla"
This is a bad movie. It fails on every turn. It's not even a 'good' bad movie -like TROMA (mostly) makes. I don't care that they borrow from Aliens, nor that they borrow from Evil Dead with a mix of MIB and the mist... I don't care if movies are unoriginal, or predictable. I don't care if they have poor CGI, I can put up with decent Sfx, not everyone has the funds to hire ILM, I can put up with bad acting. I want movies to be fun, you know: entertaining. For that, they don't have to be picture perfect.
Guardians fails on every front. what's killing is the screenplay. The pacing is ... well off the mark, it's illogical, the plot has no sense of direction and (ergo) is very difficult to understand, it is as if instead of editing the lenghty bits out, someone simply pressed ">>|". I know most bad movies have plot holes large enough to sink the Titanic, but the storyline is generally easy to follow. With guardians ...
I am a big fan of bad horrorsflics ... this one nearly broke my heart...

Suffers from its budget

Hampered by low budget.
It's not a bad movie at all. The acting, etc is pretty good. The monsters, however, look worse than most Syfy originals. I would have given it a 5 or 6 but I abhor it when cast or crew make profiles just to give a movie they worked on a glowing 10 star review.

guardians
this was the greatest movie of all time. i need to get it on DVD, for sure, no matter what. I really hope that this movie airs on the sci-fi channel because that would be so freaking cool. and to all you people out there who like creature flicks, you must see this. it is the greatest movie ever. I loved the acting. shannon watson was excellent. hemi did great too. the beginning is kind of weird but it gets really really cool throughout the movie. there is no boring parts at all in the movie. its just action action action. it is great. i totally recommend this movie. i really hope drew maxwell makes a sequel for this movie because the sequel would be exciting. I Recommend THIS FILM!

Not for everyone
Let me start off saying that I don't agree with either of the two comments already on this film. No, it's not a standard great film. I'm not going to say that.
This movie is not for movie buffs. Not even for traditional fans of horror. If you expect great special effects, don't look here. If you expect wonderful editing, don't look here. It's obvious it was a low budget film.
However, if you're a regular player of Call of Cthulhu RPG or even Modern RPGs, this movie is for you. Watching it felt like someone made a movie of their last campaign. In that sense, it was great.

Drew Maxwell makes another cracking film brilliant
All and all Guardians is a blast!
