It's supposed to be gory it's a horror film!

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 1999)

Ok so there are several parts of this film that have blatantly been nicked from others ( the blood rushing down the corridor - The Shining,the images of Hell - Hellraiser, etc )However when I saw this film at the cinema I was very impressed because although it contained these parts it was an original concept - a horror film set in space where the horror element isn't aliens.I went expecting to see another dodgy Aliens rip off but was gripped by the storyline as it unfolded.There was also some nice directional touches like the filming of the space scene, a great score by Orbital,an amazingly dark moody gothic set and some good acting from Larry Fishburne , Sam Niell, Sean Pertwee, Richard Jones and Jason Isaacs. Ok it's not the greatest film ever but I think it deserves more than 5.7 out of 10.
