2/10
Watch and die....of boredom

Warning: Spoilers
You know that bit in James Cameron's Aliens where the Marines are being chased through the air vents by the aliens. That's this movie but painfully dragged over and hour and a half, so better just watching that scene from aliens and sapre you this twaddle. The lead character is a punk rock hair salon model and the rest of the "elite" team are whoever was in the local heavy metal bar on the day of shooting. There is no character intro or even development so its just random folk muttering unintelligible dialogue about the package in the dark. If you're claustrophobic this might be tense or scary but anybody else it 90 mins of a hair salon model crawling through industrial piping and small spaces breathing heavy and shining her torch. The director/producer must have said that he would make her a star as she seems to be down to her underwear pretty quick for no reason and thinks heavy breathing is the acting style for being under stress . I appreciate low budget films but this is a joke the alien monster rip-off is unapologetic and seems to defies the laws of physics in its size and ability to navigate small spaces. Tagged as the most claustrophobic movie ever it obviously hasn't seen Descent or the lower budget Adrenalin: Fear the Rush (1996) which is very similar and far better even now. Why people are given money to make these mockeries gets me they are no early sam raimi thats for sure. Avoid unless you like hair salon models in tunnels
