Alien
invasion films are on the rise all over the world, including London
There
is far too much melodrama with the characters, but in the end it is all
rendered insignificant anyway, so I won’t bother to go into great detail.
Shelley goes to her shared storage facility with a couple of friends after
breaking up with her boyfriend, Charlie. Charlie arrives with a friend of his
own. This group along with some random workers and security guards are all
trapped inside when a military cargo plane crashes, releasing an alien in the
storage facility with them.
The
film tries too much to have characters that have relationship issues and other
melodrama that doesn’t really matter. All of this seems sloppy and forced,
whereas the effects and the deaths are much more complexly created. This is a
film which savors the gore in each blood-spurting, skull-crushing moment. This
is not for everyone, but those who appreciate it will also appreciate the
quality with which it was completed.
The
DVD includes deleted scenes and a slew of behind-the-scenes featurettes in the
special features. There are also several video blogs, a feature-length
commentary with actor Noel Clarke and director Johannes Roberts, as well as
select-scene commentaries. There are a ton of features, especially for a film
like this.
