an additional circle of hell

Rating: 1/10 (28 July 2005)

It's really hard to know where to start. The movie started well enough. The finding of the spear was acceptable, and the scene where he's hit by the red car that comes out of nowhere actually gave me quite a start. But it soon started to flag. I should have seen it coming, but I had seen the cast, and held out a vain and, as it turns out, foolish hope.
Basically--Incoherent plot, jaded "special" effects, and a cast of actors who should have known better. OK, Keanu Reeves has been seen in the odd slightly cheesy part, but Tilda Swinton and Peter Stormare??? And, even though I'll be accused of nit picking, can we please, please have a horror movie which gets the basic facts about Catholicism correct? Suicides sent to hell? In the States? A truly dreadful waste of time.
