The Lair

Imagine a producer asking a typical 4-chan user to write about the Brits, the Americans, the Soviets and the Afghans. This not-so-subtly racist nonsense would be the result.

worth a watch

Thoroughly enjoyable: no repetition to hammer out an awkwardly complex story, distinctive characters, good place telegraphing, excellent signaling of devices in the film like doors and weapons, surprisingly accurate military gear and locations, great sets, and reasonable acting in a fast-paced creature feature. Surprisingly good given the first few minutes of green screen aircraft scenes, develops well, no wasted time. Entertaining! And a bit gory.

Neil Marshall's continued return to form. Some small crappy CGI moments aside, this was some pretty apeshit full on action splatter with practical effects monsters that tear people's faces off and limbs apart. Basically Dog Soldiers meets The Descent but set in an abandoned middle eastern ex-USSR bunker laboratory. Recommended for action horror fans.
