I really like the creature design and make-up and some of the bloody attacks but the pacing is really sluggish and we are once again subjected to Anthony Hopkins' wandering accent (one moment he's Welsh, another his Irish, another he is English and then sometimes has an American touch to his speech!). It could – and should – have been so much better, especially when that cast and that budget.
It was the first time I had seen it since watching it at the cinema (where I thought it was a mess) and thought it was better than my first viewing, but not by much.
