BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
callanvass mildly entertaining stuff is dopey enough to be amusing but it's not really that good because of the really rotten looking creature effects and a slow first half sink it but there is a decent twist at the end and the second half is fairly entertaining it's just really nothing new and no better then average and the finale piles on the gore. the acting is so so Craig Fairbrass acts with his accent most of the time but overall he did a decent job and was fairly likable didn't like who he played though Toni Barry is okay here as Paul's girl friend and does decent as one of the heroine's not much of a part though William Marsh annoyed me plain and simple SPOILERS!!! i was glad when he got his same goes to Jennifer Calvet who also annoyed me Robert Firth is terrible as Paul. i didn't like his character either the rest of the cast do good (Doug Bradley from the Hellraiser films here in a bit role. overall an average flick nothing more nothing less only worth watching if you have nothing else to rent ** out of 5
WhiteScreen This movie is taking a bit of a bashing, and I can't deny, it's not the best movie I've ever seen.The dialogue is cliched and banal. The special effects are pretty disastrous, failing to convince or frighten or even shock. But the movie is not without its good points. Namely Craig Fairbrass.A better action man / hero type could not have been found. He's has the looks, the build and is clearly capable of such parts. Ok, I'm biased cos he's British, gorgeous and was in Eastenders, but so what?I will say he is definitely wasted on stuff like this, though. Can no one in the UK give him a good, meaty role to save him from American B movies?
Dave_Angel This movie is terrible, simply awful, the script has no plot and makes no sense, the actors act as if they have been drinking straight vodka the night before whilst the filming and soundtrack is annoying.I have never been so bored and depressed watching a movie, no offence but whoever funded this shambles must have been from another planet or possibly Norfolk.Worst of all the paper mashie shark-zombie-rubber duck mutant looks like a 4 year olds attempt at something out of Blue Peter.Eco Warrior out!!!
mcjlf1 Having purchased this on DVD at my local supermarket for a modest fee, I was hoping for a modestly entertaining experience. Sadly, like most of the characters in the film, I was to be bitterly disappointed with the experience.In my opinion, the plot was minimalist, matched only by the acting skills of the cast. The efforts of the director to build up dramatic tension were totally over the top and repetitive in the extreme. Special effects started well and taper off into the ridiculous.The key to a successful horror/fantasy is to make the entire surrounding environment seem convincing, or at least plausible, to allow the viewer to suspend his disbelief. This film spectacularly failed to do this in any way whatsoever. The supposed oil rig bore no resemblance to anything remotely connected with the oil industry and from almost the first 5 minutes it was obvious that filming had taken place in a large tank, with a mock up of somebody's imagination of what an oil platform should look like. It went down hill from there.If you were terminally depressed I would recommend this film, as it is so terrible, it will cheer you up!
