I followed it to the bitter end, which was as every bit as dumb as I expected.valdemarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829872956512652469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173887948269031901.post-57293314222500138892013-11-30T12:31:14.861+00:002013-11-30T12:31:14.861+00:00Just checked out the trailer, which looks interest...Just checked out the trailer, which looks interesting. David Bradley's take on an Irish accent is pretty good, too! <br /><br />Interesting that you mention what I would regard as a crucial distinction between following through on a preposterous premise as opposed to having a basic contempt for it. I've been watching a sci-fi series recently, 'Fringe', which (despite being enjoyable) shows such a casual contempt for the genre to which it belongs that it's getting harder and harder to invest in the characters.Aonghus Fallonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434527113873901741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173887948269031901.post-69301688737564642832013-11-29T15:14:24.841+00:002013-11-29T15:14:24.841+00:00It's 'old-fashioned' in the sense that...It's 'old-fashioned' in the sense that it takes the drama seriously. There are no nods and winks to the audience saying 'Yes, we know it's a silly horror film, but let's go with it and see what outrageous nonsense we can get away with'. I like that, as the faux-ironic but really very trashy and ignorant horror flick got old very quickly for me.valdemarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829872956512652469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173887948269031901.post-49463410241812030722013-11-29T07:04:49.098+00:002013-11-29T07:04:49.098+00:00It worked for me too, David.

Its had some rather poor reviews on IMBD, though I imagine many viewers were mislead by the awful cover art for the US DVD release.Martin Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465252725316520572noreply@blogger.com
