"You can't get away from me, you know. It doesn't matter what you do. You have to come out sometime. There's no other way. So why don't you... all just come out now."

A difficult film this one. For some thoughtful breakdown of the potential deeper meaning in the film see the Wikipedia entry#But I'm not convinced the film warrants that kind of analysis. I'll make do with a surface look. It's... Well it's schlocky bad horror and#Some of it in quite bad taste. But there's something there... Not just a mindless Alien ripoff (tho it's hard to deny the inspiration#Despite Warren's arguments to the contrary). For a brit b movie made on a shoestring it looks shockingly good in places and indicators new#Blu ray is very impressive indeed. Ymmv massively and i can see why this might be a film people would hate. But for some reason i find#Myself watching it for the third or fourth time. One definite piece of praise i can give it: Geeson is shockingly brilliantly good in this#Far better than a film of this calibre deserves. She runs the gamut from frightened pitiable victim to horrific vengeful Othery demon and#She's just amazing throughout. I cannot praise her enough. Christ knows how they convinced her to do the film but my god she goes all out.
