The first hour of the film, you expect to be startled by a monster, thinking that it's going to be another "Alien" type of film. To my shock it turned out to be a psychological thriller more than the typical monster slasher theme which has been done to death. What a great idea to combine the spiritual with the unknown outter space. it is ingenious and genuine in the sense that no one has gone this direction. I saw it when it first came out 12 years ago, I was 25 and it scared the crapp out of me, more than any other film, I lived alone and I was in college at the time, and I couldn't sleep for like 3 nights. The reason must be because of the uncertainty of the ending or all the unanswered questions it leaves behind. The element of the evil that surrounds the whole movie is very disturbing and frightening, Although hell is really located in the center of the earth (as it is clearly stated in the Bible), it does make it plausible to argue the what if.

It is a good scifi horror movie. The plot is weak but you will like if you like horror movies.As some one in the review mentioned you can either rate it excellent or poor based on your taste. Do not expect a true sci-fi movie but watch as a horror movie. The special effects were also good. I would recommend it as excellent as i like horror movies

It had a good thing going at the beginning, but the ending left me dis satisfied. Sam Neil is a great actor as well as Lawrence Fishburne, but the creepiness left much to be desired.

Could have been good but is just decent. Its more sci-fi than horror but than has a lot of gore for a sci-fi movie. I like the actors and they portrayed their characters well and are interesting. The weakness of the movie comes from its ending/plot and its dialogue is pretty bad mainly by the main character. Its definitely an original movie though.
