Tom Sizemore has been making films, DVD and TV projects non-stop despite his recent personal problems and can be a compelling screen presence.  One of his last before becoming temporarily out of acting action is writer/director Randy Daudlin’s silly Bottom Feeder – Unrated.  Another bad monster film with slasher graphics, this one has maroon-colored blood all over it and kills everything in its way.  Apparently, a good script was one of its casualties.

 

Sizemore dos maintenance for the city, but gets more than he bargained for when the almost supernatural killer comes out of nowhere and is heading for the surface.  This is complicated by innocent victims and some armed schemers, but they are all boring that it leaves you rooting for the creature almost.  This joyless throw-together has zero imagination, humor and the makeup is also lame.  By the end, which is dumb, everyone has hit rock bottom.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is limited, looks shot digitally and has detail and color issues throughout.  Depth is also limited.  The Dolby Digital 5.1 has limited surrounds and is not very full, plus dialogue can be an issue often.  Besides trailers for other Genius product, there is a making of featurette that is about as exciting as this dud.
