A very decent bit of trash in the traditional 1950s/1980s horror scifi style and I give it a 7/10 for achieving what it sets out to be. The creatures look good and are effective for the budget and time this film was made, there's nothing slow about the movie either the action kicks in from the start and continues throughout it never feels that the film drags. The plot is very thin but that's often the case with this style of film and it doesn't matter, I know I'll be coming back to watch it again.

Just a quick one to say some of the previous reviewers didn't seem to quite get the full meaning of the plot or script, they might leave you with the impression this film is one of those films where strange things happen without reason and not much makes sense, it isn't, it's actually pretty tight with few inconsistencies, the ending was spot on and satisfying, if a little rushed and predictable. It is debatable if this really could be classed as a horror, it's really more about the characters as the supernatural element is played down, there's no vagueness that some unknown force is at work though as suggested by a previous reviewer, one scene confirms it beyond doubt but I wont give anything away, The acting was very good throughout, especially from Mark Strong, also good to see Charlotte Rampling and David warner turn in good performances.
