Freaky stuff

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2004)

The idea raised in this film is very disturbing, it definitely scared me, but some of the special effects towards the end, particularly the make up job on the doctor, and points of the plot let it down. It is a shame, because the central plot about how they find out about what happened to the original crew was genuinely chilling and well carried off. The captains story about the crew member he lost in a fire was a bit cheesy, and the doctors hallucination turned out to be quite dull really, she was really scary, I'd hoped she'd turn out to be something more disturbing than a wife who committed suicide. Those 2 things really let the plot down in my opinion, but I give it such a high rating because despite its flaws it's one of the scariest films I have seen in a long time, definitely not for the faint hearted.
