seriously disturbing stuff

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 2002)

I rented this movie several years ago at the age of 14, and I have to say that I was totally and utterly traumatised by it, and for several weeks afterwards I had to sleep with the lights on (true story)! Since then I have been unable to bring myself to watch it again. A warning therefore, if you're the slightest bit squeemish or easily disturbed, don't even think about watching this movie, just stay clear of it.
It is genuinely gory and terrifying all the way through, but there is one moment which is simply unbelievable, where they access the ship's video logs and see what happened to the crew. Now I'm not really a horror movie fan, but this was the most gruesome piece of footage I have ever seen in a movie, and the image stuck in my head for months afterwards. Even now I can still hear those latin words in my head when I think about it.
Fans of hardcore horror may well enjoy this film, but my advice is simply not to watch it at all. I certainly wish I never had!
