A surprisingly good film

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2005)

Now I'm a sucker for horror/thriller jumpy films. But there are very few that have actually ever made me jump. I went to the cinema to see this thinking it could either be quite good, or extremely bad. I was pleasantly surprised! I was worried at the start of the film that the acting was going to be a bit bad but they really were good. The varying accents became slightly confusing at times as they don't really explain the friends backgrounds at all such as how they met, where they are from etc.
But I lost count of the amount of times this film made me jump! The "crawlers" I thought kind of looked like the orks out of Lord of the Rings! But I was impressed as they could have taken it way too far (aka Jeepers Creepers, man thing with wings! What was that about?!) It really did keep me on the edge of my seat and in parts my mouth fell open in slight shock! I'm sure this film won't be everybody's cup of tea but I really enjoyed it. I think my main tip will be, if you don't like gory images, then this film probably isn't for you as there are quite a few gory/bloodbath images! Anyway, a definite thumbs up from me & I will be buying it when it's out on DVD. I recommend it!
