Comments: Wow, this was terrible. Spike started out interestingly enough with no backstory and characters doing the most random things (the one chick smacks the shit out of her lesbian lover with a ski to stop her from wandering off in the woods). But soon after the creature appears, things take a turn for the worse. The one girl is carried off, and we find out that she and the creature knew each other as children (when he was still hideous, and she was his only friend; not much else of a background is provided or maybe I just stopped paying attention). At this point we discover that Spike's not a horror movie, rather, it's a shit-ass drama about a sad monster and this dumb chick. It's terrible. I already wrote entirely too much, so now I'm done. Half a star for the chick hitting her bitch with a ski.
