Now that might have been no bad thing as we spend about eighty minutes building up to what is, admittedly, not a bad five minutes of nature saying "I've has enough of this"... The pace is all over the place, Mia Farrow contributes almost zero to the thing and the polo-neck clad star looks totally out of sorts with a mediocre script and a plot that the title rather gives away. I suppose it was a disaster movie waiting to happen, but this is completely devoid of any sense of menace and ends rather as a damp squib. It's rated 15... Perhaps that's the maximum IQ required to watch? Some classy, chilly, photography but otherwise I wouldn't bother, sorry.
