Really enjoyed this!!

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2018)

Didn't look at reviews before watching this film, I'm glad I didn't otherwise it would have put me off.
I really enjoyed this, the tension and suspense were well executed, I cared about the characters in the film. Yes I did find myself shouting, " noooo, what are you doing???!!! At the scree a couple of times, but par for the course, with horror flicks.
I didn't find it unoriginal, I felt it stood up on its own.
This film is subtle, there's no gun wielding hero/ine or wise cracking jokes, it's a low key, slowish burner, that builds up with pace, there were quite a few facial close ups, that subtly show the crews fear and helplessnes at what's unfolding, there were acts of bravery, and yes stupidity a couple of times, but hey if anyone irl were trapped in space with a very hostile alien life form, mistakes would be made I'm sure.
I was sat on the edge of my seat for large parts of the film, and the superb ending had my face damn near pressed to the screen.
An underrated gem!!
