Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (27 October 2005)

Kinda crappy. Weak script. Some of the gore was cool, but I wouldn't shell out ten bucks for it as is. The Lion's Gate people tried to get people excited at Toronto, but it was a little disappointing. Ran into some of their people later who said the director threw a fit and had to be baby sat through the festival. Kinda funny for a horror guy to need a babysitter. Always amusing to hear the 'office gossip' at these festivals. I was hoping for a better film, however. Actually, I heard the director was kind of a handful on Cabin Fever, too. There was a really awful draft of the sequel to that one that Lion's Gate refused to even consider. It was so bad it was comical. So they made the guy do this one. Not sure about this, but I also heard someone at LGF wrote this one and they paid him big bucks to slap this guy's name on it, to keep him happy. In any event, I really love the genre, and had high hopes for this one. Loved the premise, but it just doesn't deliver.
