I actually like quite a few of Neil Marshall's movies but this one was pretty bad. The concept was good but it was so poorly acted and shot I actually laughed out loud a few times and this isn't a comedy.There's about four different actors in the movie trying to do accents but they sound worse than my nephew trying to imitate Crocodile Dundee. At one point towards the end one of the characters shoots the cable to the elevator to get out of the shaft quickly but you can see the elevator cable flying around and knotting up underneath where he's holding it so it's obvious is just a soft rope that's not attached anything. There's actually quite a few scenes that have mistakes like this.They obviously went with the first take On almost every scene in the movie. The creature designs aren't terrible though, it was just poorly filmed. I love the descent which was a very well done film by this director which makes me wonder what happened to make this one so cheesy? On a positive note though,There was some pretty good gore effects and no woke politics so that's an automatic bonus. I mean, I finished the movie so it wasn't bad enough to turn off but it was pretty close.If you like sci-fi channel movies though you would probably actually enjoy it a bit.

The Lair does one thing right, its never boring.

It keeps it monster vs man based story, the reminds me a little of Resident Evil, rolling along nicely, with lots of fight scene's and gun play.It can be silly at times, well, to be honest, a lot of the time but then who's going to take this seriously, anyway?

In summary, a lightweight, fun, action monster flick that's a perfect match for a few beers and chips.
