        A plane crashes near Hyde Park. Charlie (Clarke) couldn’t care less. His girlfriend Shelley (Campbell-Hughes) has just left him. But then he’s trapped in a storage building with Shelley and others and an alien monster from outer space.

       Some people liked the film, many did not. In fact many hated it.

       It’s not that bad, it’s just a bit…odd. All that jealousy and heartbreak in the midst of a gory attack by a yucky alien in a storage facility? It is quite bad, I agree, but it’s also almost sort of cool. So the question is – is it really bad or really good?

       Answer: yes. Both. Neither. It’s one of the best really bad films I’ve seen.
