Well I must tell you I had trouble classifying this movie. I wouldn't exactly call it a horror but it has been clumped together under this broad teen horror category. Anyways it's about a small town in Cradle bay whose residents use mind control on the 'bad' kids to turn them into the 'good' kids or 'blue ribbons'. This mind control is not without its side-effects and it is particularly noted that when a blue ribbon gets horny they are uncontrollable. Enter new family from out of town, in particular Steven who falls in with a bunch of 'bad' kids. This group including Gavin, U.V (pigmentally challenged) and Rachel (Katie Holmes from Dawsons Creek) suspect that something is up but only Gavin knows for sure. Anyway blah blah blah Gavin gets converted the rest go into action. They win and live happily ever after. Well what more did you expect from a teen/horror movie?

I obviously think more of this movie than the writer of the back blurb. His/her explanation of what the movie is about doesn't even come close to what actually happens. It leads me to believe that he/she did not in fact watch the film. You be the judge.

Back Blurb: "Below the floor, beyond the light, he lives! He is every monster known to mankind, part man, part werewolf, part vampire, part devil- he can appear anywhere, anytime. Journey back to 1951, where a cult comic book artist conjures up an ancient curse to inspire his drawing. Suddenly a howl from the cellar shatters the silence - his latest creation has come to life.. and it kills without need or mercy.

Here is where the bulls**t begins 40 Long years later, (incorrect it was 30) the artist's body still has never been found. Intrigued by this mystery, shy, young artist Whitney Taylor enters the abandoned Gothic house. (Okay lets see a. Body was found, b. girl not shy, c. House is neither gothic nor deserted. It is fact an artists retreat.) She discovers deep below the floor,(Actually in a chest) a book containing the artist's last drawings..(Nope wrong again it was a demon book) and the curse that will once again bring to life the creature known as the CELLAR DWELLER!

Now correct me if I'm wrong but that would have to be the worst description of a movie that I have ever heard. That aside as I previously mentioned it was a good movie, and a good looking monster.

I went to see this movie with high expectations. I had been told that it was hilarious/ witty and a great film.

Bah, I'll admit the film had a few good laughs but I would hardly call it hilarious. The biggest let down in this film was there were far too many moments when nothing much happened. It was these moments which distracted from this unique film.

Scenery was excellent so if you are homesick for Ireland see this film other wise wait to it come out on video.
