What
to say about this film? I didn’t like it that much but I certainly appreciated
elements of it, and if I watched it again I think I would enjoy it more. Why?
Because it’s dark humour that I don’t think I got the first time around. I
hated the dialogue. It was shit. The writing was so cheesy and stupid and none
of the girls had a back story really, which made them disposable. Franco was
great as Alien though. Such a ridiculous character but surprisingly he pulled
it off. I liked the ending and I loved the cinematography of the film as a
whole, lucid and colourful. As you can tell from my erratic writing on the
film, I’m not sure where I stand really. I’ll just say it’s entertaining and
leave it at that.
