This film really stuck with me

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2005)

I watched this film expecting a good night out at the cinema from the director of the fun Dog Soldiers.
I didn't expect to see one of the meatiest and satisfying horror films ever! The build up is tense and creepy, and clearly a cut above the usual schlock. You know something bad is coming.
The trouble with most horror films is that after the "reveal", it's all down hill. But not this. After we see the antagonists in a blistering scene, the horror never lets up or gets boring. The director is clever in offering the viewer the tantalising idea of human descent. We see the characters fight for survival, and becoming equally as primitive as the very things that are trying to have them for dinner.
On the surface, it's gory and satisfying, underneath, it's enters heart of darkness territory. Lovely stuff
