Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (16 October 1999)

This movie had great potential to become a classic in its genre. The ensemble cast consists of some of the most talented actors around. The premise is also intriguing. The special effects are fantastic. I have to admit I actually found the first half hour or so of the movie spooky and unsettling. However, the rest of the movie proved to be a disappointment. The key word here is 'cliched'. Almost everything that happens is this movie particularly in the last half, is what you would expect from an ordinary horror flick. This makes it a frustratingly predictable movie to watch. Still, it is much better than those teen slasher movies. Worth a look if you haven't seen it but don't expect too much.
