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.
