        Decent flick if you like mysteries.

        I liked it, mostly because of the mystery that was slowly revealed but never fully explained.

        The ending is a giant cliff hanger, so hopefully there is a sequel to make up for the lack of ending provided. If there never is a sequel, well then it is clear this movie was seen in vain.

        It is a bit slow going, but if you like mysteries, like me, you'll probably like it anyway, because the interaction with the characters is a bit comical and intriguing.

        Clues are provided throughout the movie to suggest and hint until you get an idea of what the characters are up against.

        Suprisingly Bad.

        I don't get it. It seems like they put in some effort on the effects but man were the effects pretty cheesey or what? And the Story? The Story was just not good. The script wasn't good. The acting seemed forced. I can't give this anything better than a 3/10.

        I'm torn

        Part of me really liked this film and another didn't. Hmmm. Would have been much better without the extra cheese factor. Very lovecraft as another viewer stated, which I loved. I also understand the humor but, it was overdone and not in a good way. I might recommend it if one was in the right mindset.

        Don't even bother.

        Don't waste your time with this garbage. Just about everything that could be bad, is! The dialogue,particularly for the main scientist is laughable, in the worst possible way. The acting is appalling. The directing is worse if possible. I think this proves that in the British film industry, who you know is more important than talent. Avoid.

        Fun and unique

        I don't really know where the line is drawn and things become "indie" but i imagine this is lower budget. Acting was great, writing was creative. I wasn't keen on the choice for the old school looking filter on the camera shots, but whatever. Fun "indie" find. In the realm of, but much better than what used to be called "Straight to VHS".
