Should you spend 2h 2m on it?
2h 2m of English horror with a science fiction streak. With 9,755 ratings behind it, the number isn't going to move much — you know what you're getting.
Don't watch this if…

- you want horror you can watch half-distracted — this one is certified R16 and means it
- Why
- At 6.2/10 from 9,755 ratings, audiences are split; the genre fit matters more than the score here.
- Skip if
- you want to sleep afterwards
- Best for
- A normal night, nothing to plan around
