Notes:

I get the feel­ing that our movie watch­ing expe­ri­ence peaked early because the last few we have watched have been duds. This wasn’t really a bad movie, it was a solid pic­ture, but it wasn’t any­thing spe­cial. As far as films involv­ing man­faced rich Ger­man girls trapped in the British tube sys­tem, befriend­ing home­less peo­ple while being chased by an unknown sub­hu­man crea­ture go.. this one falls at par. Yeah, Franka Potente– a.k.a “that chick from Run Lola Run– is, shock­ingly, even more man-faced when she has shit-tons of make-up on but gets hot­ter as she becomes dirty and cries and sees home­less peo­ple evis­cer­ated before her eyes.

As far as this movie goes in terms of hor­ror, it meets the expec­ta­tions cre­ated by its title, but it doesn’t leap and bound into our our adren­a­line cen­ters like some of the pre­vi­ously watched films this month. It’s good, but it isn’t great. Because Joe has no reg­is­ter for medi­oc­rity,  he gave the film a very low score (but he didn’t see Diary of The Dead or, even worse, Grind­stone Road, which we watched last year and is prob­a­bly one of the worst films of any genre I have ever seen.)

The bot­tom line is that I have seen hor­ror films that don’t at all meet the level of qual­ity as this film, but were far more ter­ri­fy­ing, so it’s hard to say that it this is a bad movie–it isn’t– it’s just not a great hor­ror flick.
