Not much horror, but good, creepy atmosphere

Rating: 7/10 (27 March 2017)

Life won't win many awards for scares, but it is certainly an unnerving and creepy film at times.
Taut and consistently busy, in a talky, conversational manner, the only real fault with it that I had is the general lack of 'oomph' in the proceedings.
Everything ticks along in a very neat and ordered manner, as the crew (a hard-working cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds) logically work through various too-organised- to-be-credible solutions to rid themselves of a reanimated martian organism.
Too neat, too ordered, but all handled very professionally and hats off to director Daniel Esposito for delivering a smashing surprise ending.
