Format:DVD
A group of environmental activists fly by helicopter to an oil rig that they are going to investigate and broadcast from. They are accompanied by wheelchair bound rig worker Crawford, who sustained his injuries on the very same rig. However things take a strange turn when they search the rig and find it to be deserted. What has happened to the crew, what secret about the rig is group leader Vince keeping from his team and most importantly, will any of them make it off the rig alive as an unknown assailant starts to pick them off one by one.
Okay it changes the setting from the snowy wastes of Antarctica to a seabound oil rig, and the assailant's origin changes from extraterrestrial to supernatural, but there is no doubting that this excellent Scottish horror owes a big debt to Carpenter's 'The Thing'. Quicker than you can say "Macready's Underpants", the shape shifting entity moves from one unfortunate victim to the next, and as the 'blood test' scene proves neither the surviving members of the group nor the viewer really knows who goes there. Ghost Rig, otherwise known as 'The Devil's Tattoo' is a film that relies heavily on creating a cloying, uncomfortable atmosphere. It has that atmosphere in spades, although the tension is slightly dissapated by scenes of the group wandering round the deserted rig. The acting is uniformially good and the film ends up with a really ingenious twist.
Well worth watching, another winning Brit horror. Shame there are no extras. 4 out of 5

As long as you can ignore the two glaring script errors in the first third of the film you'll be well rewarded.
Great ending, if you're like me and can usually work out what's going to happen (no matter how hard you try not to!) I still doubt you'll work out all of it. You might get half, possibly even the half I didn't get, but not all of it!
Well worth getting for the cheap price.

Surely not..
A major contender for 'worst ever' movie. Amateur directing, wooden acting, improbable reactions to verbal cues and glaring script errors. Read more

Scared
Top picture. Scared the missus stupid over the Xmas holiday. Where can I get the tattoo?

Ouch!
Acting on par with Grange Hill, story as derived as they come with music and effects looking like a college project. Reminded me of a poor soap opera. Read more

Excellent Intelligent Suspense Feature
The film is well made, and holds your attention from start to finish. The atmospheric, isolated setting, the eerily evocative score and some fine acting all contribute to a... Read more
