    ★ 7/10

    Wooden acting and cheesy script but neither get on your nerves. It is a b-movie, there is no doubt about it. But the concept is good, execution is fine and the effects pretty good as well. While the two academics are complete stereotypes, the main four characters are all interesting. And I admit, in the finale I was on the edge of my seat.
