After reading several negative reviews analyzing this and other stoner movies as being stupid, mindless and lacking in plot. HELLO!!! This is a stoner movie about stoners getting stoned. Who cares about plot or social messages or that other deep crap. You want depth go see a Bergman or a Fellini film, lighten up and smoke a joint. I'm glad to see stoner comedies back in fashion after suffering through pretentious, preachy, boring 80s anti-drug dramas that are never truly grounded in reality and where the characters always either predictably OD or just simplistically kick their addiction. So rent this movie (or watch it currently on cable), fire up one and enjoy

Which "T" film do I think is the best? I, II & III, in that order. The first one was made on a very low budget, but I think that helped focus on the characters and the action. The second broke new ground with it's CGI but once the "ooh, aah factor" wore off it seems like an above average action movie. The third fall into the same camp as the second without the "ooh, aah factor". While Cameron's touch and Hamilton's & Furlong presence were missed I found Mostow's direction was tight and very fasted paced for what it was (I'd only seen one of his previous films BREAKDOWN, which I really liked). All in all, not as bad as I was lead to believe.

This is one of those Hollywood movie that would've worked as a B film instead of an A list production because it fails on just about every level. This is one of those horror movies where I'm rooting for the ghosts to bump off the each member of the crew one by one because they're all so stupid they deserve whatever happens to them. After a strong opening the film just seems to go through the usual slasher movie motions. The movie does have a few strong points: the opening and the fact that it's the goriest horror film I've seen in recent years. The DVD version also has a very good 5.1 surround track (especially effective if watching it a night with the lights out). I'm just grateful that movie's a loaner and didn't waste any of my money on it. Other may find more something out of this to enjoy but I feel this is another film that wastes an otherwise talented cast.
