Dismal, sophomoric

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2005)

I didn't go to high school in the States but having seen this dreck I feel that I did. It's certainly about as long as an American education. Think of staying up late when you're 16 (in the US; 14 in the rest of the world) telling spooky stories and you've got the level of the film. The kind of thing that, to judge by some of the other comments, makes people who don't think or read feel like intellectuals.
If it weren't so boring quite a lot of it would be funny. The 'therapist' for example. God knows what kind of training she had. And the Patrick Swayze plot which leads nowhere and means nothing. To say nothing of all the other incompetent plotting that litters the plot. And the acting is so awful. And all the terrible music! And all the brain-dead 'homages' to better films and more talented film-makers (Kubrick, Spielberg, et al. So second-rate)
So like he has to die so she can live. That is like so awesome, dude!
When was the last time you saw an American film made for grown-ups? Yeah, me neither.
