Still good!...

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2012)

I love the ideas behind this film; a mystery combined with some sci-fi and more than a touch of horror is right up my street. Unfortunately the execution just fails to pay off sufficiently for me to call it brilliant. I think the dialogue comes over as a little dated and that does let it down somewhat. Also the twist at the end was a tad predictable. Even so, I can't help but like this film; I think it appeals to the mathematician in me (don't let that put you off by the way). You'll know what I mean if you've seen it. Over all; a decent enough film that's maybe becoming slightly dated, but still has the edge over many a high budget blockbuster or two.
SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDED
My score: 7.8/10
