I am not sure it wants to be horror, but I wish it did

I appreciated the non-Hollywood characters, the passable science and the way the it portrays the quirks of running such a macabre experiment from a home. But considering what's going on, I certainly thought it ought to be way more creepy.

Bravo, they did it

It manages respect and stay close to the game it was based upon, while at the same time acknowledging the needs and different dynamics of live action, allowing the story and characters to breathe - sometimes with quite elaborate and daring side stories. Engrossing and touching.

A fair idea that only meanders a bit

The idea and scenery in itself should have been sufficient for a creepy and mysterious slow burner, but the girls are so drowsy, and the whole story seems a bit insecure, low-energy and incoherent, that it failed to really scare or entertain me.

Missed opportunites

Well these mines certainly provide a haunting location, and positioning it in historic times gave it a promising atmosphere too. Alas, it didn't hold up. The team was a rather unlikable bunch, the cartoon-esque scientist seemed in the wrong movie, the monster was wooden and over exposed.

Almost perfectly disastrous

This was pretty close to being the ultimate accumulation of bad ideas being badly executed into wildly entertaining pulp. But is misses the sweetspot, due to a lack of energy, and self-content jokes that are unfunny in the wrong way. Still, keeping an eye out for future adventures of Babebezilla!

Erotic drama that feels like a thriller

I think this is the most intense erotic drama that I have ever seen. Not in softcore sense, but because of the excellent performances, the smooth direction and some scenes that had us nailed to our seats, and snacks coming to standstill in front of our faces, out of pure tension.

Trauma

Not as traumatic

There is certainly enough here to warrant trauma. But the movie as a whole doesn't have what it takes to tie it all together, and in doing so the horror doesn't hit as it ought to. Acting is so-so, connection to the characters is limited and the story feels clumsy and amateuristic.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

A bit tired

All the ingredients for the fans should be in there, but it failed to resonate with me. Her constant smirk started to look weird and overacted. My mind wandered of in some of the emotional scenes and there was a shortage of good jokes and vicarious embarrassment.

The title pretty much tells you what to expect

This mostly a group of people continuously discussing the nature of the threat and ways to deal with it, and I must say they gave their everything in producing a steady stream of mumbo jumbo - only occasionally interrupted by a CGI blob which is then deterred with painted NERF guns.

Very gory and nasty, but it kind of works

Nasty, uncomfortable and violent, with the kind of scenes you pray your fellow house residents don't walk into. For a while I feared it was going to be nothing more that that, but with the background story and personal demons of the killer, they even managed to create some depth to it.
