The Plot…
1879. When a family of settlers is found brutally mutilated, it is thought that hostile Indians did it. Some family members, including a young girl are missing and believed to have been kidnapped. Although there are strange holes in the ground surrounding the kill zone, not much notice is paid to them. A group is formed to track the Indians and save the survivors.
Little does the posse know that the holes were created by vicious creatures that live beneath the prairie. And the posse is heading straight into their territory.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
The creatures are pretty cool. I wish we had more action with them.
The Burrowers (2008) rates 2 of 5 stars.
