The cover has a review note on it that refers to the film's ending as being a "shocker". It IS a shocker! Shockingly BAD! The film felt so tirelessly long that i considered suicide - and it was only 77 minutes! I want my 77 minutes back! The Menu on the DVD was better! My girlfriend was watching it because she thought it was horror - but she couldn't stop laughing for the entire time. Maybe it was the endlessly pox storyline, or the crappy lighting and lack of visual flair, or editing, or music, or acting, or EVERYTHING combined that made this movie mega crap. I just don't know. Who was the french guy that popped up 40 minutes in and rambled on about his dead wife to a hooker, then left and had no further baring on the movie? The "TWIST" on the end seemed merely the director last ditch attempt to make the movie even MORE lame. On a technical note - being shot on DV can be a cheap way to make a movie, and if worked into the storyline can be cleverly effective (see Blair Witch Project) but if it's done wrong then it looks like a student film or bad daytime TV. Unfortunately for "The Waiting Place" it fits solidly into the latter. I may demand Blockbuster give me a refund.
