tvsweeney-39052 Though this movie gets immediately into the plot, it moves rather leisurely after that. The first scene,very obviously a painting, shows this is London. There's nothing to set up the premise except that Storage 224 is somewhere on the outskirts, and a plane has crashed in the city cutting off power.Cue the ominous music.Once we get all the characters introduced and the dialogue out of the way, what action there is starts and it consists mostly of crawling through ducts into various units. There's a smart bit in which they break into another unit looking for weapons and find children's toys and the monster is distracted by an animated toy dog which barks and walks. The dog is used in another interesting way later on.There's a surprisingly lack of gore and the "monster" isn't particularly horrendous in comparison to some. We've seen those interlocking jaws many times before.This story's more about the character and ingenuity of those locked inside the building. It's well acted after the required introduction of the characters is done, and there are some familiar faces...Noel Clarke, who stars and produced, was in some Dr. Who seasons, Colin O'Donoghue has played "Captain Hook" on Once Upon a Time for several seasons.This is an enjoyable film which won't give you nightmares but might evoke a few discussions about some of the characters and scenes. Just don't expect "Alien" or "Predator" or anything of that grandiose ilk and you'll be fine.An entertaining movie which seems shorter than it actually is, and is fairly mild as this genre goes, it has the feel of a TV pilot or first episode of a series, kind of expository in nature, as if there should be more to come.

Lars Bear I felt I had to write in defense of this film, which hasn't been very favourably received in general.It really does have a few things in its favour.1. It's set in a place I know, where people tork lark wot ah do. I know that shouldn't be a deciding factor, but with almost everything that comes to our screens originating from the USA, a home-grown effort makes a pleasant change. The environment, acting, and writing really do evoke the realistic essence of Sarf, sorry South, London.2. It's an interesting idea. The idea of monsters running amok in exotic places like spaceships and Central American jungles has been done to death. All the action of this movie takes place in the most prosaic of locations -- a hired storage lockup.3. It's unpretentious. It doesn't take itself seriously, or pretend to be a work of profound art. It's amusing in places, although I do wonder whether you have to be a Londoner to understand its self-satirizing nature.4. There isn't a stupid, cheesy happy ending (sorry, is that a spoiler?) The movie doesn't finish with a long drawn-out face-sucking scene, which seems to be almost obligatory these days.On the bad side, the monster just isn't scary. But, as others have remarked, few movie monsters are scary when they are dragged out into the light of day.All in all, it's worth watching, particularly if you have fond (or otherwise) memories of the location.

andrea-vitello I saw the trailer by chance and decided to see this movie with some good expectations. The acting seemed to be not bad and for the first 30 minutes I found myself thinking that this movie was a lucky discovery. Unfortunately the promises made by a well shoot trailer and by some good scene at the beginning are not followed by an adequate development. In my opinion this movie falls deeply around minute 40, from that moment on it reveals some major script problem, it is not clear whether the movie wants to make you laugh or thrill, and unfortunately it fails both. Another black mark consists of the music, which is almost always inappropriate and contributes in letting the premises of the trailer down.

GL84 After a plane crash in central London, a group in a storage containment facility find themselves trapped inside with the vicious alien creature released during the crash and must try to fight if off in order to get out alive.This turned out to be a rather decent enough creature feature. One of the more enduring elements to this one is the fact that there's a refreshing simplicity to how it plays out, as the film's basically a one-note plot that really goes on through the notes quite efficiently and effectively to where it becomes routine more than anything about what goes on It consistently turns into confrontation, escape, confrontation, escape which is plenty of fun due to the tight, cramped location to work with the rather convoluted layout of the area and the continuous encounters where the creature chases them through heating ducts, storage units and throughout the building itself that the scenes make for a rather creepy and exciting set of action. The fact that the alien creature here is quite imposing is where it really helps score a little extra as well because the otherworldly appearance, as the spiked mouth, tentacled fingers and humanoid body create a powerful enough figure without seeing too much of it to lessen it's visual appeal as the creature really helps generate a lot of good marks during the film as the repetitive, action-packed nature of the film results in a creepy monster stalking and attacking people trapped in a creepy location, only to escape and run into it later on so there's a sense of familiarity to this as it goes on which can lower this somewhat. As well, the film's blatant disregard for information-revealing is a bit of a problem as it tends to keep so many ideas and plot-points completely unknown to the viewer about the alien creature, what happened to it and the fates of several characters, and about the only plot-point to this that doesn't work is the long build-up here that results in some painful amount of time not going anywhere due to the aggravation of the animosity towards each other. Otherwise, this is a fine effort.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
