Most Canadian films make me cringe, and are identifiable almost immediately by the production. I haven't seen a lot of Canadian films but until the many hockey references occurred, I had no idea this film wasn't made in the US of A. The main child actor character definitely makes you feel uncomfortable initially, but as a whole the film wasn't THAT bad, although some scenes dragged on far to long, the carol near the end of the film comes to mind. I made it all the way through this film, I think anyone really could. If you're really hungover and can't get off the couch (sofa for you Yanks) and aren't sure where the remote is, ... AND this also happens to be on TV, things could be worse. (.. and on a somewhat unrelated note, to whoever wrote the trivia for this film, the characters name wasn't Ed, you twit.)

After reading a few reviews which stated this film was worth watching, I had high hopes for this film. What a let down.

It's very hard to watch, the acting sways from borderline watchable to down right terrible. Bad production, which sometimes has a charm of it's own, definitely does not here. You will groan at the corny dialogue, the bad acting, the both unprofessional and uninteresting camera work. After seeing the first 'soul sucking' scene or whatever that was supposed to be, I had enough. (I stuck it out, watched it all. I wish I didn't.) Avoid.

If you don't find the final scenes so incohesive, ludicrous and nonsensical that you either want to giggle or just shake your head, you are a better person than I. Again, avoid!!
