Synopsis
Unlocked. Unleashed.
Royal Air Force pilot Lt. Kate Sinclair is on her final flight mission when her jet is shot down over one of the most dangerous rebel strongholds in Afghanistan. She finds refuge in an abandoned underground bunker where deadly man-made creatures known as Ravagers — half-human, half-alien, and hungry for human flesh — are awakened.

Neil Marshall returning to his lean, gnarly Dog Soldiers/The Descent creature feature roots might sound too good to be true after his pretty embarrassing stint in the big-budget leagues and unfortunately I can confirm that it is. Part of the reason is that he's returned to this genre while on a strange new low-budget career venture where (following in the footsteps of power couple PWSA & Milla Jovovich) he exclusively makes movies as star vehicles for his model fiancé who, no offense, is no Milla. As a result, the filmmaking here is not only obviously lightyears away from the references being made to things like Aliens or The Thing (he even deploys the Carpenter font) but also not as close as…

When the film opens with Charlotte Kirk engaged in a dogfight in a fighter jet with a cockpit view that looks like the Asylum version of Top Gun, you really know where you stand with The Lair. Neil Marshall is back with a creature-feature horror film. Fans of The Decent are cheering. But I have to bring you back down to earth.
Neil Marshall can't do it anymore. Or doesn't want to anymore. Or Charlotte Kirk is blackmailing him with something and forcing him to make crap films. The Lair looks cheap, is lousily acted, features dialogue on the level of a porno prelude and is completely devoid of fun. The cheap digital look doesn't create any atmosphere, camera and…

i'm a big fan of horror films that revolve around experiments gone wrong and because of that, i decided to watch this despite the dozens of bad reviews i read beforehand. the concept is really cool, but the creatures reminded me too much of resident evil. where's the creativity? how did neil marshall go from the descent and dog soldiers to this?? this was not it.

Neill Marshall's splatter horror B-movie:
'Choose your own army accent and commit to sounding like a smarmy officious douche until your character gets torn apart by walking tumours or shot to shit by Afghans', plays out as predictably as one would expect. Dashes of extra gory props and peek-a-boo monster surprise attacks kind of keep things interesting, but the real VIP lies in the super exaggerated accents; they're just SO over the top, that you gotta wonder who approved that shiz.
If you're a Neill Marshall fan; you're gonna check this out anyway, but for everyone else; you ain't missing much if you never step into this lair.

The new “film” by Neil Marshall. Film is a strong word tbh
-
"You better run you son of a bitch!"
Unfinished CGI, lame creature costumes, awkward acting, very cheesy and the funniest accents i've heard in a while. Horrible "score" it sounded like someone banging a spoon against a casserole, mixed with the most generic action soundtrack. Some redeeming qualities are the gore, it's done right, the first act was enjoyable and it has lots of action. The locals were pretty intense. The eye patch douche major and Kabir were my favorites. Do I see a sequel setup at the end... seriously?

The main actress is a badass and has a good ass.
The movie is a bad movie and has a good ...
oh wait, there's absolutely nothing good about this movie

ENGLISH below
"The Lair" ist der neue Film von Neil Marshall, der zwar besser als sein letzter Film "The Reckoning“, aber Lichtjahre von „The Descent“ entfernt ist.
Ich bin auch ein Fan von Marshalls "Dog Soldiers“ und auf dem Papier, hätte "The Lair" eigentlich auch ganz mein Fall sein müssen. Leider nimmt er sich viel zu ernst, anstatt einfach nur Spaß an seiner blödsinnigen Prämisse zu haben.
Wie schon in "The Reckoning" übernimmt auch in "The Lair" Neil Marshalls Bettgespielin, Charlotte Kirk, die Hauptrolle. Die gute Charlotte dürfte bei ihrem Neil Narrenfreiheit gehabt haben und Neil zeigt sie uns immer nur von ihrer besten Seite. Egal ob sie durch einen schlammigen Graben kriecht, oder aus einem Kampfflugzeug geschleudert wird, sie…

A fun and totally serviceable low-budget DTV creature feature that is director Neil Marshall's best outing in quite some time. He gets back-to-basics and once again crafts an old fashioned monstersploitation film with a lot of heavy tributes to action/horror B movies of the 80s, including: cheesy performances, dopey dialogue, John Carpenter's The Thing inspired opening & closing credits, a pulsing synth score, an eye-patched army major (obviously a Snake Plissen reference), plenty of gooey ghouls, decent enough CG/practical effects, and whole lot of bloody bodily harm and dismemberment! Definitely a step in the right direction, Neil!

It’s nowhere near The Descent or Dog Soldiers, but this is a perfectly decent 3-star creature horror from Neil Marshall.
It gives off very strong Resident Evil movie vibes channeling Alice in the lead character, the desert setting and camo couture from Extinction and the licker and mutant licker from the first movie and Retribution. Basically, I’m saying it’s not very original, but I’m also saying it’s a decent watch and better than I was expecting given the reviews I read and the recent output from Marshall.
I am a sucker for a strong and sassy black lesbian character so this did win me over with that alone. Jamie Bamber’s southern accent, however, did not. They specify at one point that some of them are from North Carolina and that’s where I’m from and the only people who sound like that are well, nobody actually.

It's hard to explain. A film that should have been fun - I wasn't expecting anything with any depth - only it wasn't fun.
That's about it.
They actually used the line "whoever smelt it, dealt it".

This is Neil Marshall's most "Dog Soldiers" movie since "Dog Soldiers." It's about a group of British and American soldiers trapped in the Afghan desert and hunted by a bunch of slimy, muscular creatures that have broken out of an underground Soviet bunker and have a habit of soaring through the air and lobbing off heads like they're melons. So of course this thing has a 2.2 average rating Letterboxd. What gives, people?! Well, label me an unsophisticated philistine if you must, but I had a whole lot of fun and can't imagine gorehounds or monster lovers being disappointed by this B-movie.
This also feels more like a Resident Evil movie than most of the Resident Evil movies: we've got Hunter-like creatures breaking out of containment chambers in secret labs, there's even a character more or less dressed like Chris Redfield in REmake. I can dig it.
