Review:
HOLY. SHIT. This film was so fucking incredible that after seeing it last night, I am going to see it again this week! I really do not want to give anything away on this film at all. If you have never trusted me before on my opinion on movies, or if you do trust my opinion in movies (as you should), YOU NEED TO SEE THIS FILM!!!! Do yourself a favour though. Don't watch any trailers, Don't go online & read anything about it. Just simply trust in my words that you MUST see this. Without giving away any major plot lines or story arcs let me say that if you are a fan of any good, GOOD horror franchises from any era or style of horror there is something in this film for you. It is a true homage to every great horror film that has been made before it. (Even some bad ones). Also if you are turned on by inter species erotica then there is even something for you! This is easily the best film I have seen in the last maybe 10 years. Sure maybe it's not on the same level as The Departed or Lord Of The Rings, but in its own world it is simply the greatest! Richard Jenkins & Bradley Whitford (Yes the bad guy from Billy Madison) are on fucking fire. Just stellar, perfect comedic timing. If you are at all familiar with "The Whedon-vers" then you have a very good idea of what to expect. A few Buffy The Vampire Slayer & Angel cast members making appearances.

S.P.R.: A+/50
Acting: 10/10
Plot: 10/10
Cinematography: 10/10

Extra: 10/10
