User Reviews:
First I must give this
movie credit where credit is due: it is the first to tackle horror and
fear in space in a long while, possibly even since Event Horizon. We
follow the exploration of a rescue team called to investigate
disappearances aboard a space station, and the results are chaos at
best. Throughout the film we are given slight nods to old horror films,
and even such tropes from video games like Dead Space. The set pieces
are well done, with tiny corridors and steamy pipes strewn about. The
film handles much like The Crazies, in which the space station
inhabitants are driven mad by a virus. Where the movie differs, is in
its refusal to reduce these characters to zombies. Much like the
original outing of I Am Legend, these feral beings battle intimately
with their sanity, using old memories to trap prey, making for a more
sensible attempt at fearsome enemies. Overall not a bad film, a good
indie sci fi as well. Worth a watch at least.
