The Blackout (2009)
9/10
Why all the hate? Judge it for yourself on its own merits.

I enjoyed this movie, I'll admit it was cheaply made, a relatively unknown cast, and I've a feeling quite a lot of necessary stuff was probably left on the editing room floor.

But I enjoyed it.

The child actors were believable, always a plus in my book, when a director knows cute does not equal talent.

The characters were real and engaging, some you root for, some you root to get eaten, but because they are truly obnoxious people.

But where this film scores is in its wonderful original monsters. Evil, merciless, dangerous and revolting manticore like, subterranean obsidian horrors.

The ending is amongst the most shocking Lovecraft cosmic horror kick in the teeth I have seen in a long time.
