Alright....

Rating: 6/10 (20 November 2005)

I saw this film in the rental store and thought "hmmm" looks OK.
I loved 28 Days Later and Dog Soldiers so I thought I'd give this one a try. I got watching it and started to find my concentration slipping away after the first 45 minutes. Most horror films I've seen this year have been action packed basically from the start, but this was different.
I almost thought I was watching an ITV drama. I suppose the story was interesting enough and the acting is OK. But after 45 minutes of no action I was getting pretty bored. Then the first glimpses of the 'Things' appeared on my screen and I became interested again till the end of the movie.
Even with the slow start the action after the 45 minute mark was good and kept me interested till the end, but for my liking the plot didn't advance fast enough and the whole thing felt a bit rushed. Almost like they had tried to cram a very complex drama alongside a fast paced horror outing.
Conclusion? Well its watchable, probably never watch it again or for that matter even remember it but if your a big fan of Britsh horror then watch it!
