This is a homicidal horror flick mixed with a mild ‘B’ blend of gore. It’s an exciting opening which is lost when it’s discovered that the protagonist is a twisted mind of humanity. Fishburne keeps his cool while the crew around him slowly drives themselves insane, not helped by the isolation of space and the compartmentalisation of their team. The captain’s chair is quite cool and I love the way that it hangs from the ceiling making it nice and level while all the other stations get shaken apart around him. The characters lacked individuality, perhaps with the exception of Cooper who was the sassy black guy. A bit more background knowledge of each character would have also helped us to understand their fears. There seems to be some obsession with gouging out people’s eyes instead of torturing them through different methods. And every door does seem to have its own bizarre pattern on the frame for some reason, though I suppose that this could help with navigation.
