The Similars review

Eight people trapped in a railway station by a strange rainstorm find themselves undergoing terrifying transformations. There's no doubt Isaac Ezban came up with an original idea and made good use of his limited resources, but the fate of these perpetually bickering, mistrustful travellers always borders on the unintentionally comical. And I'd be highly offended if I was Zach Galifianakis...
