If curiosity gets the better of you as it did me, then take my advice and wait for it to appear on tv. For the blu ray fans, the picture and sound is superb.

It only just managed a 2 star rating for me as the effects are 'ok' and more importantly, the filmakers did not drag it out to a jumbled bum numbing running time. It's quite a short movie thankfully...
