Creatures not subversive enough

I like the film but it did need some improvements.

I think the creatures could have been more inventive / subversive together with any specifically created music for the transformations and subsequent actions.

The characters needed more development - I think we should have seen more of their everyday interactions so we could have had a chance to know them better and hence felt more empathy when they met their horrible ends.

They just came across as a group of banal bearded Norwegians who we knew nothing about.

The Kate Lloyd character just seemed to spend most of the film looking wide eyed in amazement - her facial expression reminding me of the 'Big Eyes' paintings.

Finally Ulrich Thomsen's portrayal of Dr. Sander Halvorson came across as a tired Sam Neill.
