Bad. Very Bad

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 2006)

As you can probably tell from the title I did not enjoy this film. The plot was very stale and I did not get what was going on. This was probably because I only ever played the game once and my views on that are the same as this film. However if you are a fan the game you will probably really enjoy this game, I have been told that the film stays very true to the game, and there are some scenes which are virtually the same to parts of the game.
Even though I did not enjoy this film, it did have some good qualities (which is why i give it a 2 instead of a 1). For a start the special effects in this film are amazing. the final creature at the end (who I can't remember) is amazing. I have never seen people being pierced by barbed wire in a film, and that image will stay with me for the rest of my life. Also the set design is to be awarded, as well as the cinema photography. As for being a horror this is one of the most horrific movies I've seen in along time. the scene where the pyramid head guy rips of the woman's head is just... well i can't describe it.
True fans of the game will love this film, but I don't recommend it to others. This film is rated 15 in the UK but i'm amazed that it's not an 18.
