Director Neil Marshall’s career took a major hit when his do-over of “Hellboy” attracted disdain from the critical community, while audiences also maintained their distance from the picture (a film even Marshall would eventually disown). He’s retreated to the ways of low-budget productions, working exclusively with his girlfriend, Charlotte Kirk, and their first endeavor, 2020’s “The Reckoning,” didn’t inspire much of a reaction outside of hope they wouldn’t team up again. Marshall continues his Kirk collaboration with “The Lair” (a third movie from the pair is due out next year), which is basically a remake of James Cameron’s “Aliens,” only without the style, acting, and ferocity. Marshall can’t do much with his limited resources here, occasionally working up some monster mayhem in small settings while also managing a cringe-inducing screenplay (co-written by Kirk) that leaves no cliché behind.
