Apparently this was a micro-budget film, but it feels like a mid-budget one.
It has an early Brian De Palma feel (right down to the 'Dressed to Kill' reference and intrusive incidental music).
It is quite an achievement for the budget, even if it isn't entirely satisfying, but the pacing is done really well and I didn't find myself pausing during watching to check out Youtube, as I often do these days.
I suspect most negative reviews are from teenagers who think if it isn't The Avengers on a 200 million budget then it isn't worth watching.
It doesn't end ambiguously, like so many films nowadays, and, despite the characters doing stupid things and finding it difficult to get out of a house (!), leaves the viewer satisfied at the end of its short run-time.
I kept on wondering how long it would take the protagonists to be discovered in a British house - probably about five minutes, due to their size!
