No good will come of this.
CW: squishy body horror (quelle surprise)
Having not bothered with this on release because it's very much the prequel nobody asked for, I have to say it's actually not bad.
OK so it is obviously a love letter to the original and they had semi-modern CGI to play with so there's a lot more jump scares and gribbly monsters but it didn't deserve to be the bomb it was.
Winstead kind of channels Ellen Ripley and while it hits a lot of the same beats a double bill would actually work fine.
What it lacks is the humour and weirdness of the original. At no point do we get a quoteable line like "I know you gentleman have been through a lot but when you find the time I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter tied to this FUCKING COUCH".
Maybe worth your time if you've never bothered 7/10.
