Good Movie, but the script needed editing

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2003)

I went into this film without hearing any reviews as I do with all films. I find it more effective to rate them myself. Anyway, I saw the trailer and the cast looked promising since they'd been involved in other films I enjoyed (ie, High Fidelity, Office Space). I thought it'd be interesting to see these actors in a new setting.
The movie started a little slow, but picked up significantly. It has the elements and potential for a really good film, but the script had a few plot holes and could have used a few more drafts before production began.

The acting was quite good, the best performances coming from Pruitt Taylor Vince and Alfred Molina. Overall, I would say this is a good film worth seeing in the theater as long as you don't let anyone spoil it for you. My only criticism is that the script needed to be patched up a little more (a few characters technically can't exist) and that this concept is much better suited for a psych-thiller than a slasher flick. Of course you can expect much of anything else from Michael Cooney, the man who brought us such quality films "Jack Frost" and "Jack Frost 2:Revenge of the mutant killer snow man :)
