I'd suggest going in knowing as little as possible, it's a bit of a slow burn but in the best possible way. It's doesn't show all it's cards too early but from the name of the movie you can guess where it's going.
All the child actors nailed their roles and the main adult actor so was great as an unhinged parent dealing with grief.
It's not a feelgood movie, there's some proper squirm in your seat scenes that made me cringe in the cinema. But it really does something quite original and the tension is just building and building for its 1hr 45mins. I feel this is put together better than talk to me (their previous film) feeling more polished and complete.
If your a horror fan wanting something unique, go see this... Can't praise it enough and probably warrants a second viewing to catch some things I missed the first go. Don't read any spoilers!!!

I must admit I went in with low expectations but wow I really enjoyed this one.
It's brutal and Statham can still throw down. It has John wick/ Equalizer vibes all over it.
Its true the female FBI actor is terrible, brings nothing to the movie when they could of picked a decent black female actor. Great to see scummy scammers get theit comeuppance. I feel the main nerd bad guy is a bit of a schmuck also but otherwise I liked it.
The action never lets up and if you go in with an open mind you'll enjoy the film, it's not meant to be a masterpiece but honestly it's as good or better than any current day John wick films.

Watching this again in 2025, pleasantly surprised by the use of practical effects and creature design.
I always thought 4 was bad but on re-watching I'm pretty impressed with the make up/special effects department. They really stole the show or par effects with 1+2. The story is a little weak, poor old Ripley can't catch a break. The effects in this film remind me of 'the thing' or 'pumpkinhead'. The CGI let's it down because it 1997' but so glad they used mostly practical and not CGI monsters like the later movies. Goes to show practical effects hold up over time but CGI does not. Worth watching it to extend the aliens lore for the cool creatures if nothing else.
