If you want to see good science fiction, don't see this movie. If you're a fan of bad science fiction, don't see this movie. The only type of person who should see this movie is someone who wants to feel like they've had roughly two hours of the life permanently and irrevocably stolen from their life.
Somehow, this movie manages to be so bad in so bad a way that you can't even Theater 3000 it. You never really know why anyone is doing what they're doing, and when you do, the reasons are totally idiotic.
The villain's motives don't make sense. You never know why he wants to carry out his evil plan, how he's doing it, or even what his evil plan is. You never really understand the hero's motives, or what his character's history is supposed to be (despite the time they put into developing it).
The rules of the movie don't make sense either. The creatures are supposed to be hurt by light, but when everyone's scared of the creatures escaping, they have to go through a room lit bright as a tanning bed.
Finally, the acting is hideous. Christian Slater, Stephen Dorff (who never should have acted after The Gate - on of the finest bad horror movies of the 80s), and whoever that women was should be shot in the face. Then their heads should be reconstructed with glow, clothespins and tape, and then they should be shot in the face again. And it's not so bad its funny. It's not even bad in the Ed Wood way. It's tedious and unpleaseant.
Do I recommend: Oh yeah, and why don't you get some spider bites and an enema to make it twice as fun.
