Could have been great if the script had followed its own logic

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2000)

This is a film that is well acted, mostly well directed, has great effects, high suspense and could have been great. Its fails by not following its own logical premises.
The creatures of the night are both scared and hurt by light. Unfortunately, the scriptwriters grossly vary the amount of light to suit the story. It would not have been difficult to write the story to follow the logic. Too bad, the film is severely hurt by this failure.
The direction falls down in reminding Van Disel that his eyes are supposed to be light sensitive. This results in him wearing his eye protection in a chaotic fashion.
Despite this failings, we enjoyed the film and give it 8.
