RAF Lt Kate Sinclair is having a bad day. First, she’s shot down over Afghanistan; then she watches her colleague splutter blood and die. Next, she’s shot at by ground troops. When she finally finds shelter in an abandoned Russian bunker, it’s another ‘Doh!’, because she meets a horde of half-human freaks hungry for flesh. (Blu-ray, DVD and digital) is a video game of a movie… which has its plus points. The opening chase is nicely free of chat and sets the tone for almost constant action. The imagery is striking in parts, too: I loved the creature’s tongue. A scene where the mutants descend on a US Army camp, leaping through the air and biting soldiers to death, is thrilling. Yet the film apes lesser video games, with ropey accents, creaky performances and uber-retro stereotypes – because, of course, all grizzled army captains wear an eye patch. The dialogue is weird, too… Sinclair jumps into a foxhole with a US soldier and shouts, “What’s the plan, Stan?” I laughed at that. I have no clue if I was supposed to.
