A movie that, like a great artist, steals from others (The Blob, Godzilla, Forbidden Planet etc). But great art, it ain't.

I thought it would be cheesy, but it actually maintained a great atmosphere of suspense, thanks not only to the interesting story and wonderful cast, but also to the still spooky fully-electronic score.
