Everything about this is awful. The acting, the special effects, the story.
It doesn't even fall into 'so bad it's good' it's just a really bad movie.

Good plot idea but unfortunately too cheaply done. Needed a bigger budget. Has a terrible b movie quality to it and not in a good way, remake with a bigger budget!
I like all kinds of movies. They don't have to be cinematic masterpieces or high budget films for me to enjoy them.
That being said, this was horrible. These 10 star "rave" reviews have to be fake. If somebody actually did like this boring, plodding mess it should still only rate a 6, maybe 7, tops.
Nothing was interesting, yet I stuck it out until the end thinking maybe it was a reverse horror flick, in that the body of the movie was bad and the ending would somewhat redeem it (as opposed to the more prominent opposite). Nope.
The only thing I could think of that was remotely positive was Pancho Moler's performance. I mean, I like Dylan Walsh, but even his character didn't interest me.
No, this was lame, predictable (which generally isn't bad in itself but didn't help this movie's case), and pointless to watch. The ending was just as bad as the rest of the film, and felt like it was going to continue for a couple more minutes yet just stopped. I couldn't even handle watching it straight through, I had to break it up between two nights of viewing.
So don't believe the 10 star ratings. If, by some miraculous universal paradox you did find this entertaining, then it still wouldn't be worth a 10. I absolutely hate coming on here and seeing those kinds of pandering reviews since they ruin any kind of fair representation. Which is usually when I decide to add my own.
That's why this is here. To let you know that this boring sludge fest is nowhere near close to being a "perfect horror masterpiece" no matter what your tastes are.

I would vote this movie lower but I think that's what Dylan Walsh character would have wanted. He has alot of generic parts with some really poor dialogue exchanges. I can't help feel that some of the actors where just picked off the street it's very poor. The plot is completely unfounded although the effect are okay. Dylan Walsh's character is the only thing stopping me giving this a lower score because its an complete oddity. It seems to jarr against the movie and for some reason he is the most entertaining thing by far. His character has a terriable clichéd back story and his behaviour is so odd. The rest of the film takes it self semi seriously while he just seems to be having a blast. I have to give the movie credit for this because its completely original in the regard. Everything else about the movie is pretty pants to be fair.
Ok This film isn't going to win Oscars for best acting or directing. But it's great mindless watching for Halloween! People giving bad reviews would be right to but I think it's just a Hollywood diversion type of flick and not supposed to be an art movie of any kind, it is what it is. Saying that it was very cliche and the sleezy director types really rubbed me up the wrong way. I don't like this depection of a director as it gives other filmmakers a bad name. But it's a pretty fun film.
