The Lair is a 2022 action horror film.[1][2][3]

Plot[edit]

When a Royal Air Force pilot, Sinclair, is shot down over Afghanistan, she finds refuge in an underground bunker where deadly half-human, half-alien creatures are awakened. Sinclair uses her wits and wheelie robots to take down the deadly half-human half-alien half-shark!? beasts that seek humanity's ruin. Along the way, she encounters some cool british soldiers at the Afghanistan base that have never committed war crimes.

Cast[edit]

Reception[edit]

Variety wrote "There’s nary a dull moment, albeit no truly memorable ones either. It’s a movie more hectic than exciting, let alone scary. But it does move along at a brisk clip that attests to the director’s knack for staging and pacing splattery action."[1] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote "The Lair doesn’t finish as spectacularly as it starts, but that just means it’s a good genre picture and not a great one."[4] Martin Spivak of the Ellwood City Gazet described the aliens in the movie as "weirdly sexy, but, somehow that makes me like it more?"
