Long before director Neil Marshall directed some of the best battles from the fantasy series Game of Thrones, he directed the cult horror film The Descent. In it, a group of girlfriends are locked in a monstrous cave system. 18 years later, Marshall is once again dedicated to horror in a confined space. In the bloody tear-jerker The Lair, super mutants lay siege to a military outpost.
On May 19th, the horror action film The Lair is finally coming to German home cinemas.
The Lair offers brutal mutant action with a story that fits on a napkin
Lieutenant Kate Sinclair (Charlotte Kirk, who also co-wrote the screenplay) is nearing the end of her tenure in Afghanistan when her fighter jet is shot down. She seeks refuge in a bunker complex left behind by the Soviets in the 1980s. However, she also finds their experiments there: Super-sized super mutant soldiers waking up after 30 years of deep sleep.
Check out the trailer for The Lair here:
The Lair – Trailer (English) HD
Kate narrowly escapes the bestial killing machines and finds help at a remote military base. But the nocturnal super mutants follow her…
The Lair’s story fits on a napkin or small piece of wrapping paper placed over Marshall’s Dog Soldiers (2002). In the cult film, a group of soldiers in Scotland are being terrorized by werewolves. This time, military in Afghanistan get caught in the feeding line of super mutants.
Don’t expect a multi-layered horror masterpiece like The Descent. But if you enjoy a simple tear with fine practical effects, monsters and liters of blood loss, you should be satisfied in the credits of the horror action.
