Don't listen to the negative reviews
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
