Was so looking forward to it as I adore Dead Birds. Saw this a few weeks ago and was very disappointed. The grunts are portrayed with stereotypical shallowness and stupidity (and technically there are a lot of issues here as far as kit is concerned); the setting looks about as much like Afghan as my front room does; the plot is just shot full of inconsistencies and the scares...meh... Decent enough concept but fatally flawed. Totally agree mate. Was so looking forward to it as I adore Dead Birds. Saw this a few weeks ago and was very disappointed.
