There's some genuine tension and creepiness that i simply wasn't expecting together with an awesome creature design. It's a simple enough story and features a great dynamic between the doctor (Oksana Akinshina) and the cosmonaut (Pyotr Fyodorov) as they try to make sense out of what happened as well as battling against the controlling authorities who have other nefarious plans in store.
Anyone wanting a well made sci-fi horror could do far worse than Sputnik. I really enjoyed it.
Nice one Trebor, for bringing this to my attention. |
Thanks. Like you I was pleasantly surprised by it well worth a watch and it's on Netflix for those interested who have it.
