“ The whole thing proves unexpectedly entertaining.”

“There’s enough gore, ideas and self-aware absurdity here to make it something a bit more enticing than merely Alien: The EastEnders Redux.”

Kim Newman
“This is a knows-its-place B picture which manages decent suspense and horror. It has to get past needless relationship chat at the start, but the monster-dodging is compelling, the creature design is good and there are a couple of in-your-face jumps. ”

“If you happen to find yourself trapped in one of those big storage-rental facilities, no one can hear you scream. On that premise, Johannes Roberts’s film builds a cheap Alien knock-off.”

“Ridley Scott's Alien has been subject to many adoring homages/barefaced steals in the 30-odd years since its release, but none has been so slavish in its imitation as this British stalk-and-chase horror.”

“The creature itself isn’t badly designed on the budget, looking like an oddly plausible cross between the Predator and Nigel Farage.”

“Soapy romantic complications fail to engage our emotions, and as for those ‘Alien’ bolt-ons: an overhead ducting system that allows access to every ‘secure’ unit adds suspense, but insults the intelligence. ”

“It’s not unwatchable, although the character motivations are beyond questionable and the plot holes so big that an alien attack fleet could fly through them.”

Chris Tookey
“Essentially Alien in a storage facility, with young people being killed and eviscerated by an extra-terrestrial monster, in reverse order of celebrity. It’s consciously derivative film-making, aimed at people who paid to see every sequel to Friday The 13th and didn’t mind that they were basically the same movie.”
