“We all know that Alien was u0026#39;the daddyu0026#39; when it comes to these sorts of u0026#39;monster-munchingu0026#39; movies. You have your alien/mutant/werewolf/whatever, chasing around a load of humans who are trapped in a spaceship/laboratory/missile silo/whatever, until the humans are suitably depleted enough to luckily beat the beast.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStorage 24 conforms to this template. My question: so what? I read once on the internet, when someone was comparing George Lucasu0026#39; (commercially unsuccessful) u0026#39;Willowu0026#39; to the (critically-acclaimed and money-spinning) Lord of the Rings franchise, they said: Obviously Lord of the Rings is a better film, but is it fun? Storage 24 is not a classic film. But, in my opinion, it IS fun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt never takes itself too seriously. The characters are just about well-formed enough to be enjoyable and the monster is suitably horrible. Therefore, it pretty much has everything you can want when youu0026#39;re picking a monster-munching movie to eat popcorn to.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you want something deep, classy and serious – go elsewhere. Suspend your disbelief… and enjoy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNOTE: if there was an Oscar for u0026#39;best use of yapping dog toy,u0026#39; Storage 24 would win hands down. And probably again the next year, too.”
