I really didn't connect with this one as I did the first two. The concept was good, I just didn't like the execution. Very predictable in parts, and downright creepy/stomach turning. The mixing on this also was not great, which didn't help. The guest characters just didn't interest me as much as the ones from the first two did.

The audio mixing isn't the best on this (though might just be the version I watched). The plot's fine but less interesting than the other two and unfortunately it felt a little predictable, I saw the twist coming a mile away. Now the effects though, there were some gruesome practical effects in this which I loved, one near the start where a yellow sludge seeps out of a person's eyes really stood out to me, as well as the moment where someone gets their heart torn out of their body.

Overall though, this didn't reach the atmospheric peaks that the first two films did, though it's at least more consistent then The Zero Imperative.

Worth a watch for the effects though.

Also unrelated but it's Criminal that Liz isn't on the cover of more of these, because the cover for this one is just awful.

Mark Gatiss is probably having fun. I had fun. Definently more 'Torchwood' than 'Doctor Who'. Caroline John as Liz Shaw is great, geniunely upset that we got only one tv season of her as a full-time companion (great one though), but I will probably listen to Big Finish with her someday
