Isolation

BEWARE do not eat food whilst watching this.

I’ve been on a 2000s horror kick lately and this Irish creature feature definitely hit the spot. I was supposed to watch this on St. Patrick's Day but I didn't, so I figured it's been long enough it's now the time to watch this. This is a suitably grim and dreary science-experiment-gone-wrong that delivers thick tension and decent creature and body horror effects. The premise of this film sounds silly, like something you'd see on 80s creature features, but it's not as goofy and silly as expected. This thing is actually scary, suspenseful and gruesome enough to overcomes the utter silliness of its premise, thanks to its script and excellent performances. Love the rural farm setting and the eeriness it achieves. I think eerie farm generally make for a compelling setting for a horror film.
