An average movie

Seriously, what happened to Neil Marshall? Indeed, at some point, he seemed to be the next best thing coming from Great Britain but, suddenly, he completely disappeared and his last directing effort was already 5 years ago.Indeed, back then, especially after 'The Descent' was released, there was actually a huge buzz about this director. Since then, and after a couple of underperforming movies ('Doomsday', 'Centurion'), we don't hear much from him but it didn't stop me from watching all his directing efforts. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, it was Marshall's directing debut, it seemed to have become somewhat a cult-classic in the UK, and for a first effort, I thought it was not bad at all. Basically, the directing was decent and it was refreshing that they relied on practical special-effects instead of the usual CGI which has been dominating the blockbusters for a while now. Unfortunately, the story was nothing original though and it is obvious that the makers didn't care much about the plot or the characters involved but, instead, they were more interested in creating a nice tense mood. Anyway, to conclude, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you enjoy monster/werewolve movies.
