This is just a big waste of film stock

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2007)

1) Horrible directing (no need to explain why) 2) Even more horrible DP's work 3) Sound guys were probably fresh out of low budget film school 4) Actors? Shall I even bother to comment on that Conclusion: Waste of film stock, waste of money, waste of time. Its just sad how good stories can be screwed up...I don't get it how people compared this crap to "House on Haunting Hill" (old one) or "Shining" (hello)? It was plain horrible movie, the script was badly done. Mr. King is probably ashamed after this one (even though The Fog was horrific as well). Don't rent this film, instead watch something like "Ils" (not the same genre, but good film) or watch David Lynch instead (he is always great). This film is great for those who like crap like "Dead silence" (another example of bad film-making and script writing).
