I forgot to mention I thought it was a pile of crap too. The fighting was intermittent and choreographed poorly. A lot of the chase scene - like the one where she's after the last guard in barce was completely devoid of tension or any feeling at all and lasted 3 hours!!(I think I might have lost track of time), same with the roof chase in Dublin.

Husk. - a rather strange little horror about people being turned into homicidal scarecrow zombies. It's bizarre, there's a Saw influence with a bit of Jeepers Creepers thrown in.

I nearly bought that about a million times because I liked the
name and the picture on the box. I kept forgetting to look it up online and check reviews to see if it was decent though.

It's alright, but definitely only a one watch. save your pennies for something better

...thinking about it, it was a bit crap. The kills were samey and none of the chars did you give two hoots about. It had some interesting imagery, but didn't really go anywhere. can't recommend. 2 stars

Now I've started watching Michael Mann's The Keep. I haven't seen this in years. It's clearer than I've ever seen it, in Sky HD.
The score is very 1983.

I rewatched that recently. Still very entertaining nonsense.
