Part of a review by Steven Neish from Heyuguys.com.... "Stormhouse at least looks the part. The sets – particularly the holding bay itself and the titanic adjoining corridor – are utilized to breathtaking effect, lending proceedings rather grandiose production values despite the film’s decidedly more modest budget. Light is also used to impressive effect, both as it flares through the retractable door, showing off the actors’ imposing surroundings, and in a few instances of effective restraint. Stormhouse is most successful in the intimate, claustrophobic one-to-ones with the largely silent entity. Catching only the barest outline of the actors’ faces and basking the cage itself in a thick, all-encompassing darkness, dread naturally follows."
