Gloriously delicious!! The whole 'interdimensional gate to hell' thing was a bit stretching it but thankfully it was merely a MacGuffin and didn't have much bearing on the plot. Performances were great however and the effects worked out nicely for what they were supposed to achieve. That CG tentacle at the beginning looked a bit iffy but the rest of it was great, especially the 'queen' at the end, which unlike in Aliens managed to be menacing without actually engaging the characters. Ending was a nice touch too, bit too Greek-tragedy but worked really well overall. Marcia Gay Harden excels as the religious nut and her 'fate' is particularly delicious too. Was craving for a good King adaptation and this one's it.
