Maybe if you like the comics...

Rating: 2/10 (21 February 2005)

I wish I understood this movie. I felt like I had been thrust into the middle of an ongoing storyline. I like to think that I pay close attention to movies that I see, but this was a lost cause. Maybe if I were familiar with the comics.
The photography was not as bad as some modern horror has been (such as House of the Dead) but the direction was trying a bit too hard to do something that looks 'cool.' Luckily, this sort of direction only lasted for certain sections, mostly the beginning.
The potential for the story could be interesting, except the lack of explanation and the minimal dialog approach makes this impossible.
The cast is capable. Given the source material that they are working with, their performances are decent.
I like horror movies quite a bit, but the obtuse approach just makes this a mess. If you like - or are familiar with - the comics, then maybe you'll like this. If you don't know anything about it... you'll probably just feel lost.
