Mini-Review: It is what it says it is, a throwback to 80's horror films. The plot is clichéd, the acting woeful and the effects cheap but effective. It would've worked a lot better had it been filmed in a cheaper, grungier style but it's hard to complain once it starts off on a stream of inventive kills and quips.

Mini-Review: A very average action movie. Brody plays a convincing action lead, Fishburne is hilarious as he hams it up for the little screen time he has and Topher Grace shows that he can play creepy very well. Unfortunately Nimród Antal isn't a very skilled director and the film squanders an interesting premise. There's very little tension, the action lacks punch and the exposition is at time boring. It's still better than the AvP films but not the full kick the franchise needed.
