Has anyone seen this movie, yet?

I remember it being advertised some time back but must have missed it when it came to the cinema. I'm very keen on seeing it; have heard some excellent reviews.
I think we should support quality indie filmakers when they produce stuff like this. It'll send a (small) message to the big budget claptrap that passes for entertainment these days. Besides, Helspont and I want to make movies ourselves, and I know we'd appreciate the support.
I think if we really want young indie filmmakers (especially in the horror/sci-fi realm) to break new boundaries, and we continuously complain about the studio system (like a bunch of people did after "Van Helsing") then why not support someone who does it right? Again, the fact that they were able to not only make this movie, but get a release of any kind is amazing, and we should definitely embrace that.
Why not support them? It's the only way other films - be it serious or spoof - of this sort and caliber will get financed and done, otherwise, then we shouldn't complain about the "cookie cutter big studio films with monsters on steroids."
After all, these were indie filmmakers making a clever, spoof homage to something we love.
You may have noticed, I like a little sci-fi, too.
