6/10
Starts off as sci-fi, ends as an 80s B-movie
2 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This film would have been amazing if they had done one simple thing: left out the mutating monsters. They could have had a very similar plot (replacing the monsters with a virus or something else), and then the focus could have been placed more on the use of the prisoners as slave labour and the moral dilemmas. The monsters were simply not believable, and seemed like something out of an 80's B-movie: pure cheese, with all the associated plot holes and leaps in logic that go with it (a human turning into a huge monster in under 10 minutes for example, clearly breaking laws of thermodynamics). Don't get me wrong, I like cheesy monster movies, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I wish more people would have the guts to hard pure science fiction films. Those are rare pearls, hard to find.
