quite possibly the worst i've ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2001)

I can't say enough bad things about this movie! It is completely unrealistic, implausible and not even scary. There are spoilers ahead....
This movie started off very promising but about halfway through took a nose dive into the ground. The plot revolving around Sam Neill was contrived and had no direction, what did his dead wife have to do the ship? And then when he begins to kill the crew because they want to leave, all of a sudden he has superhuman power and easily overtakes a man with a sharp knife in his hands, not to mention he has no eyes!
I actually started laughing by the last of the death scenes because it was fun to see what new, terrible death they could produce. The only real scene that held my attention in horror was the footage of the first crew being tortured and the captain holding his eyes and speaking in Latin. The rest of the movie contains mediocre acting ( I was especially disappointed by Laurence Fishburne who usually is outstanding), borrowed plots, and a story that drags on and on.
At the end Sam Neill says "Hell is only a word. the reality is much, much worse." I sincerely believe the reality of hell would be an eternity of watching dull, irritating movies such as this one!
