Horror, Thriller Junkies get your fix on this action packed flick!

It is packed with the stuff you Sci-Fi-ers are in search of, extreme interaction with alien life form and human beings.  And when I say “extreme” I mean just that.  

Remember the first time you saw the 1979 release of “Alien” starring Sigourney Weaver and how you basically sat glued to the edge of your seat?  Well this one comes close, it may not have Weaver in it but Winstead plays her part very nicely.

If it’s action and suspense you’re looking for, don’t pass this one up.  The acting was ok, the writers did what they could to make it as realistic as possible,
and the director, well, I just wish I could pronounce his name.....  Overall, I liked it.  How about you?

I Rated it:  2.5 mugs of Guinness
