The direction - It went south from beginning to end

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2006)

I'm not looking to be poetic or flowery in this review. I have seen some REALLY bad film (I went to film school in Canada), and this by far is the worst waste of celluloid I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Not only does it leave one asking for plenty of terror, gore, and suspense, but it leaves one begging for something - anything remotely resembling texture or talent. The only thing it had plenty of was plot holes and breasts. The only thing deadly was the pace, slow from beginning to end. A shift in focus from one main character to the next was unexpected to say the least - and not in a good way. I use this DVD as a coaster now, to remind myself to that anything connected with Eli Roth is pure and utter stink and that my $11.49 could better be spent on films of substance, like Ishtar. I actually felt guilty for spending money on this film.
