Gripping contained horror

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2019)

My partner wanted to watch this, and to be honest, I wasn't thrilled at the thought of the night's viewing when most space dramas make me yawn.
However, I was pleasantly surprised. A great cast in a well-directed piece that kept me on the edge of my seat a good way through the film. Yes, there ARE predictable plot points. You're going to get that in what is basically a contained horror set in space. You need characters to make repeated dumb decisions to get catastrophe upon catastrophe and keep it moving. But I'm not sure that matters when you have likeable enough characters you're rooting for and the gore is well directed.
I got a little bored after the first hour but then it got more interesting again. I won't give away spoilers. Nice little twist at the end. Implausible but cool nonetheless. Nice one.
