Very disappointing...

Sadly Over-hyped

People are voting emotionally.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Following in the footsteps of HP Love Craft; done right when so many others have failed, you won't be disappointed if you are into this type of film.

This is a Horror B-movie. Most critiques of this film concern its lack of plot, character development, easy to follow backstory, "story arc", explanatory dialogue and witty script. This is a Horror B-movie, in all its surrealistic glory. Sure, things aren't explained patiently to the audience like a gore splattered kindergarten teacher, there is no emotional ride, the characters are wooden (although the acting is fine) and the special effects are of the latex and syrup variety. These are pluses.This is a Horror B-movie. it has mad doctors, monsters, medical experiments gone wrong, cultists, Lovecraftian dimensional portals, mutated babies, gore, eyeball violence, shotgun vs Fulci-esque zombies (sort of), trippy bits and ends with a giant pyramid. And you are bothered that the relationship between the cop and his wife isn't developed enough ? This is a Horror B-movie. its a homage (french for rip-off) to lots of classic horror - Carpenter, especially, but also Stuart Gordon, Fulci, Phantasm, Hellraiser, ect ect. Originality can be so overrated. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards.

For a start, where was the flashing lights warning?! Just don't waste your time. There are so many more films out there. How on Earth did this manage to get any positive views at all let alone a lot!? It was terrible! The acting was horrible, the story was pathetically vague. The characters had nothing about them to make you care whether they lived of died, The 'special effects' were bad, just so bad. The Thing and The Fly had better effects and this was made in 2016?! i guess they were trying to go for some sort of shock effect with how edgy and gory and shocking their 'creatures' were. Yeeeah, it didn't work. Also when you are shooting something to try and save the fricken world and your lives, Don't STOP shooting! Makes no sense.

Awesome practical effects and very good production design. There are some great visuals and gross out scenes, along with a fitting soundtrack and solid lighting. Where the movie loses it a little for me is in the script and acting. Clunky exposition, thin characters, acting that's not quite there... it all makes the whole fall flatter than it should with such amazing technical work.
