just plain awful

Rating: 1/10 (28 April 2011)

I sat through this awful movie last night and regret it.
The acting was woeful (even the great Rose Byrne and Barbra Hershey couldn't save it). The suspense was non existent and I just couldn't get into the movie. There was no explanation of why the child was in a coma. They tried to explain it toward the end (badly) but by then, you just didn't care.
The story line was just a cheap, bad rip off of Poltergeist. It was just plain dumb. It could have been better developed but the result is an epic fail.
Don't waste your time with this rubbish. If you want to see something better, see the original Poltergeist. If you are a fan of Wan and Whannell, stick with SAW.
