Another hollow, useless Horror(cringe) movie.

Rating: 2/10 (3 July 2007)

I think anyone who is more than just an average movie fan will agree that this movie was way, way overrated. It's not as good as its IMDb rating leads on, I think its around 7.8 right now... wow. I honestly can't believe it's that high.
From a film-making aspect, it was done well. Hafstrom has talent,and Cusack did what he could with the yawn filled plot and dialog...
(SPOILER) Every flashback to the daughter/wife situation seemed so forced and shallow... I didn't care about them, at all.(END SPOILER)
I liked Hafstroms' Derailed, I think he should stick with that kinda thing, stay away from Horror. It seemed like just a paycheck for Cusak and Jackson to me, just another job... this was a massive step down from other Cusack horror movies, Identity in particular, which I think actually had something to offer the Horror genre... paint by numbers Hollywood Horror.
This movie offered nothing new at all to the genre, and just because Stephen King wrote it, doesn't make it Horror gold. It's sad to see talented guys like Hafstrom and Cusack stuck doing garbage like this.
2 out of 10. (for some decent Cinematography)
(I actually felt bad using the word Horror so many times in this review, just didn't feel right.)
