I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I felt I had to write in defense of this film, which hasn't been very favourably received in general.It really does have a few things in its favour.1. It's set in a place I know, where people tork lark wot ah do. I know that shouldn't be a deciding factor, but with almost everything that comes to our screens originating from the USA, a home-grown effort makes a pleasant change. The environment, acting, and writing really do evoke the realistic essence of Sarf, sorry South, London.2. It's an interesting idea. The idea of monsters running amok in exotic places like spaceships and Central American jungles has been done to death. All the action of this movie takes place in the most prosaic of locations -- a hired storage lockup.3. It's unpretentious. It doesn't take itself seriously, or pretend to be a work of profound art. It's amusing in places, although I do wonder whether you have to be a Londoner to understand its self-satirizing nature.4. There isn't a stupid, cheesy happy ending (sorry, is that a spoiler?) The movie doesn't finish with a long drawn-out face-sucking scene, which seems to be almost obligatory these days.On the bad side, the monster just isn't scary. But, as others have remarked, few movie monsters are scary when they are dragged out into the light of day.All in all, it's worth watching, particularly if you have fond (or otherwise) memories of the location.

I watched this a couple years ago, and I was fairly disappointed then.I thought the reason I didn't like it could've been a bit because the story was so simple "a group of people trapped in a storage room with a blood-thirsty alien/monster" and that was really all it was.So I decided to give it another chance expecting to like it a little more now since I knew what I was going in for this time around, but no, it was even worse the second-time around, borderline unwatchable and I really struggled not to hit the fast-forward button but somehow I managed not to.And it's definitely not an experience I want to have for a third going so this shall be 'fingers crossed' the second and last time I watch it.The only semi-saving grace about the movie is Noel Clarke, but not even he can kick life in a dead horse so to speak.The monster is not particularly scary-looking either... I mean sure would I run to it on the street that would be scary, but so would running into Gary Busey with lipstick and a ballerina outfit but as far as being scared in front of the TV watching it, no.And a little too much relationship talk as well.Yeah not recommended.

(11%) A bottom of the pile cheapo monster flick that somehow, for reasons beyond all logic, got a pretty wide UK cinematic release. This truly belongs within a cinema screening as much as a loose fully grown tiger belongs in a busy shopping centre. The plot here is lame and unoriginal, the monster/alien is largely an actual practical effect, not a badly formed CGI creature, but it's on screen far too little, as way too much of the focus is on the dull characters and their TV soap likened side-plot. This isn't good enough to be worth a look for anyone, but the fact that this ever saw the inside of a multiplex is borderline criminal.

A low budget British monster movie written by and starring Noel Clarke, STORAGE 24 suffers from a distinct lack of originality in the screenplay. The opening of the film is a mere riff on SUPER 8 (except with the cargo being transported by plane rather than train) while the rest of it copies both ALIEN and ALIENS to various effect, as a group are stalked and murdered by a hideous creature within a storage facility.This B-movie was shot by Johannes Roberts, who previously made the marginally more entertaining ROADKILL. He brings that film's Ned Dennehy with him, with the actor once again playing a weirdo who happens to be the movie's most interesting character. Noel Clarke brings a certain charisma to his part here, but his script is definitely sub-standard and seems to have been scribbled out in a hurry.STORAGE 24 does have stuff going for it here and there; the design of the creature seems to have been inspired by Cronenberg's THE FLY and looks pretty cool, and the gore effects are adequate. But the characters are largely uninteresting which makes it hard for the viewer to get involved in their story. A not bad effort then, but it could have been so much more if it had had a more creative narrative.
