Review: It will grab you and keep you tense and scared all the way through.

Go see it if: You like being scared by a film and aren't prone to any sort of depression or suicidal tendencies.

And if you liked: Dawn of the Dead, the good parts of Silent Hill, The Thing (for the plot and themes rather than the special effects unfortunately)

Hancock

Director: Peter Berg
