Almost Human (2013)
8/10
starts from the first seconds, a throw back to eighties horror
2 October 2014
Almost Human did had a good promotion and is almost available in all countries so for people into the genre and searching this flick it cab't be difficult to pick it up. I found it in an ordinary shop, didn't had to order it overseas and it even had my native subs so how cool was that.

I knew by watching the trailer that this flick was a throwback to the eighties and after watching it I can only recommend it to the old school buffs because it doesn't have flashy camera shots or CGI. But that doesn't mean it's bad after all.

It did remind me of a lot of those eighties flicks, The screaming of the human body surely was a wink to The Thing (1982) and the white stuff, well the worth said it, The Stuff (1985). The effects used were basic but they left the best for last. Once the abducted body wants to have intercourse things go from off-camera towards on-camera effects. Indeed, some killings are off- camera and we only see the result but don't be afraid, you will have a lot of red stuff on your screen.

The acting for this kind of low budget was rather okay, it never annoyed me and I can't say I had any boring moments. It's just a no-brainer to watch, full of red stuff, not in the gory parts but if you dig those old school low budget horrors then this is your next thing to watch. I liked it.
