Could have been oh so scary.

Rating: 3/10 (3 February 2008)

First of all, I would just like to say that the general idea of the film is excellent. The claustrophobic atmosphere of it all was inspiring and the idea of the film gives me chills down my spine.
But they ruined it.
Showing the monster(s) should be the most important part of a horror film. Not only did they show far too much of these stupid, cliché vampires, they actually based many scenes around them, which immediately lost them a lot of their initial creepiness. I got bored by them. Some films like Halloween ration the villain in it and when you finally see Michael Myers, it's so sinister. These things were just ridiculous.
There were too many plot holes to name, but the major one was the fact they weren't afraid of the fire, despite being very bright. I thought they were bloody vampires! Another stupid thing was showing the grinder in the factory at the start. That pretty much gave away that there would be someone dying in it.
Josh Hartnett was crap. Not enough emotion, didn't show any depth to his character. Partly the writer's fault but he just seemed to be such a boring character, with unrealistic instincts.
Just an awful film, not even good enough to compete with the dreadful state of horror movies in recent years.
