9/10
excellent war/horror /sci-fi flick
17 July 2008
Must admit did not have high expectations of this film,but as turns out is very good. The storyline is abit tried and tested,seen a few similar,but where this film is better than others is it doesn't try to be over the top in the horror or gore effects (although there are a few gory scenes.)

Instead of making the scares action packed or very visual,it relies on trying to make the viewer see what the men see and hear and makes you wonder how you would react in their situation-i can only compare it to the feeling of anticipation got when you saw jaws for the 1st time compared to how sequels of jaws made you feel,i.e. in jaws little was seen of the shark,but the threat of danger seemed real enough to scare,where as in the sequels it relied on the visuals which were good,but had no where near the desired effect. Am sure this film will appeal to both action and horror fans alike,and if you like the odd sci-fi thrown in you will be in heaven...9 outa 10 in my opinion.
