This is simply appalling.

I hoped it would be similar to Murder on the Blackpool express, comedy, a bit scarey, a mystery etc...

Sadly it's very poorly written. Really, really Incredibly badly written. Obviously written by someone who has never experienced a cruise.

I rolled my eyes so hard, they sounded like marbles rolling around a metal dis, when the bar staff were rude to the "I'm first class" passenger etc.

I hated the 'officer' Karen, who treated the new staff like some 5th class slaves!

Dreadful! Not funny. And so inaccurate it was almost painful. Poor acting too.

Who TF commissioned this piece of cr@p.

Don't waste your precious time watching this poor excuse for entertainment.

Having got to the end of this abysmal excuse for entertainment, I'm left wondering how a ship could have so much 'secret space' how the writer could think crew cabins were so large, how the staff put up with Karen! Why did I battle my way to the end of this pile of manure?

This totally charming British film captures everything that's good about films. A hard story, but so rewarding to see it unfold in all its gritty truth. It's got a few lighthearted moments that make you at least smile if not laugh out loud. Maxine Peake gives a sublime performance, as do all of the rest of the cast! (Funny calf has just got to be a huge star in about 20 years) The characters are real, earthy, engaging and endearing. The story is hard hitting in places but never anything less than entertaining. This is a beautiful, charming and thoroughly entertaining Brit-flick, Hollywood could learn a lot from its simple, understated sophistication. It tells the story of an underdog, a beaten wife, she wants so much more and she knows it's out there. So she goes for it. Ok a broken nose from her brute of a boyfriend and she's on her way. She goes on to break the heart of a gentle and affectionate man, but he still gives her a leg up in life. This is a much underrated, beautiful movie with a magnificent cast and just such a lovely feel to it. I found the beating of 'funny calf' uncomfortable to watch but it's actually quite pivotal as that's where we find she uses humour to wrong foot her father and in future years her boyfriend. Even with its brutal honesty, this is still an outstanding movie.

This could have been an absolutely amazing series! It could have been massive, great stories, great special effects, magic and intrigue . Instead it relies on lazy writing, stereotypical teens, and hopes the audience is dumb enough to believe a mom would leave her bratty child home alone because somehow he doesn't need school whilst his older siblings do. How old is Bodie supposed to be? Drinking milk from his bowl like a toddler, putting his arm into the waste disposal like a true moron, leaning into a well like a first grade idiot, yet apparently old enough to be trusted at home whilst his mom goes shopping. Sullen teen daughter, so boringly stereotypical at school with all the same kids as went to school in October Faction. I don't care about any of the characters, they are all lacking in personality, one dimensional and as dull as could be. Such a shame as with a tweak this could have been the next Buffy the vampire slayer or Charmed. It could have been massive. Dreadful (worse than dreadful) acting really compounds this awful show. I've given two stars because I loved the ideas, I loved the stories, I hated everything else.

I read the reviews and I love a good British horror, heck I've been in a few myself, but this is as dire as anything iv been in. I was hoping for a good horror comedy. I was disappointed. The acting is poor. The 'mum' of the cannibals couldn't act if her life depended on it, really, really poor acting from her, and she wasn't the worst. The usual ridiculous scenes where the victim runs from safety straight into danger, who would run from cannibalism by getting out of their vehicle and running back into the house of horrors? Too many stupid scenes, too much poor acting. Very, very disappointing.
