Hell of a movie

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2010)

Excellent movie, that goes beyond expected and has a surprises, though it is made of already known ingredients. But that territory is already conquered by Neil Marshall with His previous efforts (Dog Soldiers and The Descent), redefining a genres well known stories.
Only this time it's not a horror, it is an epic story, and instead of slowly building the tension toward the end, there is a change of pace, and subsequently the blood starts to run from the very beginning. Also there is a romance, a small, but effective and meaningful, not forced at all.
In the end I have to mention the great acting, and introduction of one the creepiest female villain played by a beautiful woman.
For the very end I have to add that the Marshalls talent of making intelligently choreographed action sequences is also present, and the scenes are bloody as hell.
