This is one of my favorite movies ever!
Now, I'm not such a big anime fan, but the compelling story is a masterpiece in and of itself. I think what a lot of anime fans don't like or seems to ordinary about the film is due to the fact that it was one of the first to be translated to English. As such, a lot of the elements in the movie are seen in other anime. The plot is something that would give Lovecraft nightmares (A lot of the bioweapon beasts are an homage to Lovecraft,IMHO)
The suspense and horror are nicely accentuated by the musical score.
But of course, I'm highly biased. I've dedicated my entire back, in the form of a tattoo, to this series :P
