It's really about a 5 to 6.5 star film, but due to the fact that people will rate it 1-4 ...I feel a duty to raise that..
If you're a horror fan, you're aware that anything above 4.5 on IMDB is very decent, and 5-6 is gonna be pretty good.
The film was done well! Budget, & effects were great. The setting was fantastic, though the ship wasn't explored much, which gave a sense of it being small. The movie with with physical props/monsters over CGI which was a great move, the monsters looked pretty solid! Not all cheesy or anything.
The cast was a bit odd, how an Aussie, American, Brit, & a Soviet ended up in the same raft...no clue. Also, why does it seem the black fella has so much pull...? He would've been a cook, so I'm gonna chalk this up to some SJW nonsense.
I do fully agree with another reviewer that this would've been really waaaay better as a horror comedy, it had the perfect set up for one too!!!
All in all, it was a solid hour and a half! And I really wish people would stop being movie snobs with these films...why??
1) It's an ORIGINAL concept (you know what I mean...) & the reason these are rarely ever made is because when someone takes the risk of making one, everyone bashes it and doesn't support it!!! So why do you keep asking why we only see remakes and Marvel films...? Because you people walk all over anything different.
2) it's a lower budget horror film about vampire/zombies. What do you EXPECT? I'm asking honestly...what do you expect? Plot holes? Really!? Yes there's gonna be plot holes...how about the fact that these monsters don't exist for a plot hole...? Just enjoy the film!!!
With all this said I believe it is really a 6.5 star film, but I believe it deserves the 8 due to my thoughts above.
If you enjoy monster horror...give it a go.
