Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2012
Director: Justin Dix
Actors: Nicholas Bell, Ngaire Dawn Fair, John Brumpton

Synopsis: In the australian desert, a group of military is sent to a secret base to contain the escape of prisoners subject to experiments.
Review: I usually don't like this kind of comparison but the movie was sold as a cross-over between Alien and Scanners, and it is very true that it takes elements from both movie. But for a small australian B-movie, it makes an interesting mix of both and produces a nice SF story. It may not be very original but it is pleasant nonetheless to follow the soldiers into narrower and narrower corridors, trying to escape an unknown danger.
The movie offers some nice scenaristic surprises but doesn't revolve around a final twist to justify its story.
Rating: 6 /10
