Cinema viewing only

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2005)

I would only have given this movie a score of 4 or 5 if i had initially seen it on DVD, but as i was in the front row of the cinema when i first saw it and it scared the be Jesus out of me it gets the higher score (it is very difficult to look away scared when 180 degrees of your vision is filled with this film). The cast is good and the direction is fast paced, it needs just a few more original ideas to set it apart from the rest as it is certainly a rip off/rehash of Alien, The Shining with a bit of Flatliners thrown in for good measure. But it is a well executed rip off/rehash.
Could be worse - you could be watching 'Cabin fever'
