Horror-science fiction hybrid starts out well but loses all credibility by the end. A group of military-types are sent on a mission to Neptune to rescue any survivors of a long-lost spacecraft that has suddenly reappeared after missing for seven years. They board the ship only to find it has been taken over by unseen forces which torment them with personal visions. Sam Neill is the scientist who invented the ship's "gravity drive", which creates a gateway to another dimension. Unfortunately that dimension is "hell" and Neill transforms into some kind of monster that seeks to destroy the ship and take everyone back home with him. It is dumb downed by action cliches like countdown clocks, last second escapes and "jump scares", all set to a bombastic soundtrack; subtle it is not.
