Pandorum (2009) 8/10

Starring : Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Cam Gigandet, Antje Traue
Director : Christian Alvart
Running Time : 109 mins

Payton (Quaid) and Bower (Foster) wake up on board a spaceship with no recollection of how they got there or what they were doing. As they travel around the ship, trying to find out what happened to the rest of the crew, they slowly discover that they are not alone and that not only may they have been infiltrated by strange alien creatures but that they may also be suffering from a dangerous virus that, although not lethal, could lead to their demise.

This is a good old fashioned space horror, using the claustrophobic setting to heighten it's creepiness The creatures aren't particularly original, but the action is suspenseful and the inevitable conclusion of the movie carries not one but two surprises for the viewer. Fans of classic sci-fi horrors like The Thing or Alien will definitely enjoy this.
