Trivia:

The seemingly random code which appears over Sybil Danning's surveillance camera footage is actually the film's visual effects artist's birthday.

A group of scientists are trapped together and infected with a fatal virus.

What a thriller! I have a particular enjoyment for B horror films and this one was a real treat. The whole film keeps me on the edge of my seat. The acting was nice all around and there were a few performances that shined through for me. Particularly the British actor and the guy who played the robot. The only problem I would say is that it was a little difficult to tell he was a robot. The cinematography did a stand up job along with the production team of capturing the right atmosphere. The art direction and production design were really spot on for this film. I can't wait to see more from this director! A great sci fi movie with a dark atmosphere.
