Pandorum (GO SEE IT)

Tonight I saw pandorum and wow I have not seen such a good sci-fi thriller/horror film since Event Horizon.  I am completely serious when I say that any fan of horror and especially fans of scifi-horror should go see this film immediatly.  In fact I would actually put this flim before Event Horizon in the sci fi horror film pantheon and say that it ranks up there with alien.




The first ten to twenty minutes of this film will scare the shit out of you. Yes thats right; a horror flick that actually scares you instead of just grossing you out.  We have returned from the blighted wasteland of Eli Roth and Darren Bousman to the land of the genuine scare instead of the simply disgusting gross-out snuff flick horror that has dominated hollywood for the past few years.




To be honest this film isn't completely original due to the fact that it is "The Decent" in space. However if you have seen "The Decent" you know that it completely kicks ass, and you might not mind seeing something similar in the sci fi genre.  So if you dont mind watching that same damn thing plus a crazy mind screwing ending that you probably won't see coming; I would definitely fork out the 8 bux to see this immediately.

As far as acting goes in this film Dennis Quaid does a good job acting but is far surpassed by Ben Foster, and pretty much everyone else in this film. Also the character played by Cung Le establishes himself as a bad ass early on and does not disappoint by the end. I give the acting for the film an A-. I was totally impressed by what I thought was going to be B film material.



Again. If you like scifi-horror, go see this film immediately.
