Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

bbriddell With all the lousy movies I've seen being churned out by the entertainment industry; this was at least watchable from beginning to end.I usually jump through the opening of a movie with all the credits, this is the first movie that hooked me in from the start. It had an Alien 1979 feel to it with the music.The movie reminded me of Alien with the crawling through air ducts. Also, trying to find what they could use for weapons. People trapped in the storage unit and working together to escape. It would have been nice to have an idea why the Alien was going around killing people. My best guess it was trying to eat them or part of them.I was really into the movie the first 40 mins, then the story started to run on a little. I think they did OK and it could have been better; and at least they kept the viewer interested to the end.It seemed there was more story than the movie had time to present and hopefully there will be sequel(s) that expand on the story line.After viewing one bad movie to the next, this was a welcome break that kept me watching attentively until the end.

jabrbi Here we have a pretty standard monster flick in the mould of Alien. Indeed, if it wasn't for the guy smoking at the start of the film, the opening sequence is eerily reminiscent of the start of Alien. From there the clichés start arriving at the rate of at least one per minute.There's the dog getting killed at the beginning to show that the alien is deadly. And the gooey residue the alien leaves behind. And everyone is trapped in a confined space with no way out. Everybody keeps splitting up to make themselves easy prey. And on, and on, and on. Oh, and there's even some crawling through some ventilation ducting just like in Alien and Aliens.The set-up: A military cargo plane crashes in London, releasing the Alien, which heads into a Big Yellow storage warehouse. The crash takes out the phone lines and mobile phone signals and also causes the warehouse security system to go into lock down, trapping the victims inside. Finally, the power keeps cutting in and out, giving the director an excuse to plunge everything into darkness when required.As set-ups go it's not a bad premise, but it just recreates the same set-up you get in all the other alien vs human horror films; there's no originality.The acting isn't too bad: one male lead played Mickey Smith in Dr Who, and the other one played Captain Hook in Once Upon A Time. Sadly, the women do let the side down a bit, as they don't bring any character to their performances.The main problem with this film is the direction and camera work. There are too many extreme close ups, with far too much excessively out of focus during these shots. I think the director thought that extreme close ups created oodles of tension. He obviously didn't look at the finished results. Extreme close ups are just annoying.Another problem is that the cameraman is often too close to the characters so he has to keep moving the camera around to capture the action. It's like watching a drunk trying to stand up straight.Terrible camera work and an over-abundance of clichés and 'borrowed' scenes drops this film from Promising to Dire. Pity really.Another measure I use to judge how bad a film is, are the number and type of unanswered questions. For this film, here are some of my unanswered questions:1) Why is the alien staying in the warehouse? 2) Why is the alien killing everyone? 3) How could Charlie miss the half-eaten receptionist less than two feet in front of him? 4) Why does the alien use the ventilation ducts? 5) How can you rip out a heart and the guy is still alive? 6) How can you remove everything below the diaphragm and stay alive? 7) Why is the girl captured and not killed like everyone else is?To me, this shows that I couldn't suspend disbelief long enough to get into the film. That makes it a miss in my book. :-(

slowtraincoming-1 STORAGE 24 is a British indie featuring several friends trapped in a storage facility with a creature on the loose. Complicating matters is a love triangle which will test the bonds of friendship as all work together to survive. A down-to-earth take on ALIEN, this one adds a layer of suspense through its emphasis on character, setting up and defying expectations throughout the proceedings, and surprising us as to who will be our hero. The creature, although realized in part through CGI (always a caution flag for this reviewer), is very effective and satisfying. Like the facility, itself (a clever setting as the characters forage adjoining units for any resource that will aid their plight), this film has scares, emotional depth, and character surprises tucked away for its audience. The leads are Noel Clarke, who recently appeared in Star Trek: Into Darkness and Colin O'Donoghue, known for Once Upon A Time (TV Show) and the underrated, The Rite, where he held his own, opposite Sir Anthony Hopkins). Highly recommended.

Phillip Tomasso III Storage 24 is 87 minutes long and Rated R. It was released in 2012, and is an U.K. Horror film. It was directed Johannas Roberts, and co written by Noel Clark, Davie Fairbanks and Marc Small. storage 24Okay. So in this movie a plane crashes, and a mass of black SUV's converge. They must by government vehicles, or merely lead viewers to believe as much. Though no real government agent or military personnel are ever really anywhere -- it is clear that precious (dangerous) cargo was on the plane, and is now loose in London; at a storage facility, Storage 24 to be exact.Aside from an alien creature that begins to crush and eat people immediately, there is one other story line. Charlie (Noel Clark) and Mark (Colin O'Donoghue) are headed to Storage 24. Charlie's girlfriend, Shelley (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) dumped him. Since they lived together, Charlie wants to grab his items out of storage. He is distraught about the break-up and Mark, his best friend, is trying to get him through the mess. At Storage 24, there are some mechanical issues. An electrician (or engineer as he must be called in the U.K.) is working on the lights, the elevators and all with mild to moderate success. However, buried in the bowels of the facility is Shelley and her friends, also gathering personal belongings from the shared storage unit. Of course it is awkward and silently confrontational when Charlie and Shelley and Mark and Shelley's friends are all in the storage unit together. But awkward is better than dead. (Unless you are still watching the movie. Because then it is debatable). While the actual effects used to create the creature escaped from the crashed plane are pretty good -- the rest of the movie -- when all of the "action" starts . . . is when I started playing with my phone.Colin O'Donoghue is too cool for school. His performance is so over the top, and his character so one dimensional I was bored with him. Bored. There are some plot twists that happen just prior to the monster attacking that made me go, Hey Now!!! But then, I thought about it -- and while things like what happened, happens, it didn't feel plausible. Anyway, Noel Clark was good. His performance was okay, and Campbell- Hughes was cute. The other actors, there are like four more? Five? I guess they were okay.Thing is -- there was no sense of urgency. Some of the conversations that took place in the midst of a terrible alien ripping apart people made no sense. I mean, sure they have things to discuss, but in the heat of a the chase (no real heat, slightly warm, maybe) it is not the time.Okay. Monster in a crate is freed when a plane crashes. It terrorizes roughly 4 people in the mechanically and electronically broken storage facility. With sub-par performances and limp dialogue (after the "action" starts, anyway), you begin not to care if those in danger survive. At least I did not. I'm going to have to give Storage 24 just 4 out of 10 Stars.Phillip Tomasso Zombie Novelist of The Vaccination Trilogy http://www.philliptomasso.com/
