A decent horror done well

Rating: 9/10 (8 March 2008)

Unlike similar plot lines,i found this a very enjoyable and at times scary take on an old format. Mixing horror with a sci-fi storyline and a convincing dialogue without being camp or overly trying to add comic value is not a feat most manage to pull off, but this film does and was very surprised and happy it did.
My biggest surprise,and which was most impressive to me,was that the ending both left me wanting to see a sequel, but at the same time gave me closure that was both realistic and poignant. True some of the special effects could have been done abit more realistically, putting humanesque facial features on creatures can never look realistic regardless how well done,and although this is probably just a personal complaint i for one hate the bible preaching fanatics that pop up in such times of doom and take whatever catastrophe is at hand to be the work of God (and then spend ages preaching about it when something more interesting could have been added to the film instead,)but that apart was well impressed and very happy i had the opportunity to see it.
worth a good 8 out of 10 for effort,7 out of 10 if i dock a point for being annoyed and bored during bible quotations, but actually gave it 9 out of 10 due to fact that much as hate preachers in films,its probably realistic in such settings and besides which i was too happy i'd seen it to give a bad mark heh
