Original, interesting, not too much gore

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2012)

I'm not a fan of the horror genre at all. However, I am a big science fiction fan and I had read enough about this film for it to intrigue me.
Yes, there was some gore, but it was relatively bearable. Much of it is shown fleetingly or at a distance. Yes, there are a number of shock surprises in the movie, one aspect of horror films that turns me off. Like in any horror movie, you have to steel yourself for the problem that pretty well anything can happen to anyone at any time. Yes, there are a number of unexplained plot holes large enough to drive a truck through.
But despite all that, the movie -- whether accepted at face value or as a metaphor -- was interesting and worked beautifully. I enjoyed this original movie.
