The film begins with a compelling premise, drawing viewers into its apocalyptic setting. Kawas effectively utilises tension and suspense to create an atmosphere that keeps the audience on edge. However, while the film delivers some thrilling moments, it often falls into familiar horror tropes that may detract from its originality. The performances, particularly that of the lead, are commendable, showcasing a range of emotions from fear to determination. Yet, the character development feels somewhat lacking, leaving viewers wanting more depth. Overall, Project Legion is an entertaining watch for genre enthusiasts but may not resonate with those seeking a fresh narrative. Show less

Show more >> Project Legion tries to pack a punch with its apocalyptic theme, but unfortunately, it stumbles along the way. The story kicks off with promise, as we follow a former marine barricaded in his apartment, battling both external monsters and inner demons. Despite some genuinely tense moments, the film often feels like a missed opportunity, relying heavily on clichés and predictable scares. The dialogue lacks punch, and the character motivations are thin, making it hard to connect with the protagonist’s plight. The visuals are decent, but they can't mask the film's shortcomings in storytelling. If you're a die-hard horror fan, you might find some enjoyment, but for others, it may feel like a chore to sit through. Project Legion ultimately leaves a lot to be desired. Show less
