Not currently showing on the local cinema circuit.

ScreenIt C. Fuchs If the persistently bouncy, shaky and disorienting camerawork doesn't make you seasick (and it will if you're remotely susceptible), the retreaded material (crazed, animal-like killers pick off trapped people one by one) will leave you not remotely concerned or interested in who's the last one to bite the dust. | 2 | |
