Not Worth Watching

Rating: 2/10 (14 September 2007)

If you like to be scared by someone walking up behind you a popping a balloon to make you jump, then you'll love this film.
If you like a well thought out plot, good dialogue, etc, forget this film.
I've watched this film many times and each time I've switched off at different times when I've gotten fed up being treated like an idiot by the director Paul W.S. Anderson. Today I switched off after 5 minutes. So why do I keep watching it? Because I can't remember what happened, but I know the graphics are good and I think it's SCI-FI. It doesn't take long for me to remember why.
If he wants to make you 'scared' by suddenly putting a gory picture on the screen with no warning, or making a loud noise or getting the background music to play very loudly, then I don't want to be bothered with this film.
This film is to "horror" as slapstick is to comedy. Unfortunately, Mr Anderson will probably take that as a compliment.
For those who think this is an underrated horror movie... what have you been watching lately? I guess what's really bad about this film is that after spending all the money on the graphics and the set, the only way they can make you scared is by making you jump.
I'm sure another director (look up other films by Paul W.S. Anderson to see what class he has) could have made this film a success.
