Preview: The Objective (2009)

Synopsis:

A horror film about some unusual occurrences in the desert and the military crew that have come to investigate them.

• Poster: C

Review:

Matches the film's trailer fairly well, but is a little enigmatic in terms of its presentation, which could stymy anyone who hasn't seen the trailer.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

If it's possible for a trailer to ramble, this one does it quite well. Blending pov and objective camera positions, the film seems easily at odds with itself and its mention that the co-director of The Blair Witch Project directs the film makes it seem like more of a stunt than an actual piece of cinematic fiction.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• February 4, 2009
