About as generic as creature features get

A group of bickering Londoners finds itself trapped in a huge self-storage facility after a military transport plane crashes into it and releases a monster that looks as though it was assembled using spare parts from Alien, Predator and The Thing and is apparently easily distracted by windup toys. Lots of running around, crawling through air ducts and shouting things like, “We’re all going to die!” Despite a few flashes of wry humor, this sporadically entertaining, melodramatic monster movie is about as generic as creature features get. Could have done without the off-putting casual misogyny.
