Visual and Unusual

Rating: 4/10 (22 March 2009)

This film was very visual and unpredictable. I took my kids to see the 3D release. My children immediately voiced my assessment after the film, that the 3D could have been used more effectively. The story is extremely dark and creepy. I am not sure who the actual audience for this is. This seemed to be The Twilight Zone marketed for children. While the film kept our interest as we watched it at the theater, none of us are anxious for a repeat viewing. The novelty of the strange story, the brilliant visuals and the suspense are magnetic on the first viewing, but the film is not something that we enjoyed enough to revisit.
