Aliens and convicts , Together at last !

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2005)

Pitch black is horror sci-fi at its most creative .While it does start of as your usual gruff collective of characters in space type film , it quickly develops into a fast , inventive and chilling thriller thats isn't short of jump out of your seat moments.
The aliens who terrorise the humans are well designed and while not quite on the level of your average xenomorph ,(you know, the creatures from aliens )are still pretty scary ! Even more scarier though is vin diesel who is at his best here. As riddick (who got his own woefully disappointing spin off movie )He growls his lines, fights aliens , and leaves you guessing who you should be more wary of - the aliens or him !
Pitch black is top sci fi horror. Arguably better than alien. Arguably.
