Nitzan Havoc As always - Let me start off by saying that I am not a movie critique nor a cinema student, just a humble Horror addict. This time I would also like to add that I'm usually a very easy grader. It doesn't take much for me to to enjoy a horror film, even sometimes adore it. In this case, however, I must say I was slightly disappointed.The story is not more than cute, if to be merciful, and is far from original... Something evil which crawls into a live host, infests it like a parasite, then eats it way out? Doesn't it ring just a few too many bells? The farmyard agricultural adaptation was a nice idea, okay. The acting wasn't bad or anything, but was far from impressive. This is not at all the Sean Harris I loved so much in Creep. The entire film had this sort of gloomy mood to it, set by dark lighting effects. But here that simply caused sort of a boring effect, rather than a frightening or disturbing one.All in all the thrill/suspense level was pretty low. The worst part: the disgusting footage of animal interior organs and surgery. True, it added somewhat to the development of the plot, but to me it still felt like cheap vegan propaganda. There aren't too many Irish Horror films out there, and not too many "agricultural"/"biological" horrors either (unless you count "Splice" as horror). Think of this as Alien meets Species meets Splice meets Old McDonald's farm... Fans of weird stories and B-C class low budget films might disagree with me and find this film rather enjoyable. I, personally, will not be recommending this one to anyone I know. So give it a chance if you like exploring, or take my advice and watch something else.

evileyereviews This sticky little nasty takes a Holstein and makes it scary, quite an accomplishment. The farm atmosphere was pleasantly realistic, with mud everywhere and the requisite preg check an icky affair for those not accustomed. While the characters were left flat, this one was about pacing and a building sense of tension. The story was sparse and only gave enough info to keep us intrigued but wonderfully confused as to what could have possibly gone so wrong. While the POV camera work likely annoyed some, it was more than enjoyable to this viewer. The nasty itself was a mess of a creature, a wonderfully slimy affair made sans CGI. Overall this was a an enjoyable entry to the horror genre.Evil Eye Reviews

nathan-yeo The UK have proved once again you don't need a bunch of horny topless teen-agers running around getting hacked to bits in order to be scary. In fact, I don't want to see anyone in this film naked.It starts of with the fact we're in an isolated farm. So isolated that a couple has gone there to hide from murderous loved ones. The farmer besides, wanting the squatters gone is having his own problem birthing a calf. Every time he sticks his hand in the cows coochie it ends up getting bit. Once the calf is scarily pulled from the mother, the troubles really begin as the biting spreads throughout the farm. A veterinarian shows up and tells them he's going to have to quarantine the farm so this doesn't spread any further. He also reveals that some experimental substance was used to birth the cattle. The farmer and squatters band together to find out what this is. And now the bug hunt/ new host hunt begins, who will win?

mario_c ISOLATION is a British horror thriller set in an isolated farm, in Ireland. The plot is about a predator creature that hosts initially in a pregnant cow but then it comes to the outside spreading the terror through the farm... The plot (something in the ALIEN genre...) is not original at all but the setting is! I guess I haven't watched too many horror films set in a farm, with cows and stuff...The production is good. The film is suspenseful and has a great ambiance (good illumination, camera work). There're also good gore scenes. For its genre it's a nice film. I score it 6/10.
