wow-wow- and more "oh my god, did you see that?"

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 1999)

Having watched most of the "Hammer horror movies" as a child (from behind the sofa, or sat with my feet off the floor in the foetal position!), I was really looking forward to seeing this film on the big screen. I was not disappointed. Up to date special effects coupled with a good story and great actors is excellent (and rare). Brendon Fraser is a good actor, and his character is quite different from his last film (George of the jungle). Rachael Weiz does more than just scream (a big improvement on the old classics), she is excellent. John Hannah - well i was a little disappointed in his part. His acting was very good, but i expected to see more of him,especially after watching the whole of the TV series "McCallum" in which he is the lead actor (which everyone should watch (10/10)). Arnold Vosloo - what can i say, this guy is great. Without his "presence" on screen, this film would have been average. With it this film in monumental, definately one for my collection. I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of him in the future. The pace of the film never slows. Watch and enjoy. On the whole 9/10.
