London is in chaos after a military cargo plane crashes, leaving its highly classified contents strewn across the city. Completely unaware that London is on lockdown, exes Charlie and Shelley, accompanied by best friends Mark and Nikki, are trapped in the Storage 24 facility – a dark maze of endless corridors – with a mysterious predator hunting them one by one.
Storage 24 is a harmless film that might not blow your stocks off, but will somewhat reminds you of cool science fiction films of the past. What we get here is a somewhat simple story with a cool alien monster and some blood tossed in for good measure. The main characters don’t seem to be anything to write home about and sadly lack a real reason to care for, but that just makes it all the more enjoyable when they run into our evil alien friend who is doing his best slasher impression. So we can give credit for at least giving us some gruesome deaths with some less than spectacular characters.
Closed area horror films can have positive and negatives. Some seem to really strive in a closed area environment while some seem to lack a bit due to the setting, which plays an important part. I’m somewhat torn on the setting of this one, but I still found it enjoyable enough with an equally, if not better, transfer to drive the overall experience home. If you like aliens, blood, and a somewhat old school feel, then you’ll enjoy this one. Of course like those same old movies this one is watchable but not mind blowingly awesome.
