The reviewer is just as surprised as you must be, in this article from Variety:


Not surprisingly, the “Rock Monster” narrative becomes a bit wobbly by the time it reaches its climactic section, but it’s still a cut above most of these movies, which tend to have a mailed-in quality. Too bad the channel’s programmers didn’t recognize as much, scheduling the telepic against CBS’ NCAA basketball coverage in much of the country…

It seems this movie, while being about a large monster made out of rocks, actually contains nods to other horror films, competent acting, and fun scenes among the gore. How in the world did this get greenlit, and why is it on Sci-Fi Channel?

(I mostly kid, I have enjoyed at least two Sci-Fi Pictures films in recent memory).
