7/10
It's all about the writing

You will need to either make a sandwich or do the washing up for the first 15 minutes of this movie. It is so dull and lame I was sure I'd clicked on the wrong title.

But hang in there, it does pick up from this point.

I thought the suspense held up well throughout. Harry is never 100% sure of his own warning. Over and over we see him second-guess himself. And as every action he takes contributes to a chain-reaction of events where people are burned alive, shot, and smashed up, you can feel the pressure growing in his head. Several times Harry almost gives up in total despair, fearing that his warning might have been wrong.

The 80's vibe is hilarious. Unintentionally, I think. Were we ever that unsophisticated? A frightening thought in itself.

I liked the ending. I don't see why it all has to work out in the end.
