"Watched on: Watched on: January 30th, 2024. A really great film. Not your typical slasher or monster flick from the 80's, but a bit of a Terminator-esque gorefest instead. Not bad at all, I enjoyed it and definitely recommend it!"

"14.1, PC Aluksi tämä on kämäisyydessään ihan hauskaa seurattavaa, mutta mitä pidemmälle elokuva etenee, sitä väsyneemmältä vitsiltä nuo laseria ampuvat, R2D2:n kaltaiset vartijarobotit tuntuvat. Onneksi kesto on olematon, sillä 77 minuuttia enempää tähän ei olisi viitsinytkään tuhlata."
