The Downfall Of The U.S Horror film industry...

Rating: 4/10 (30 April 2011)

If this is the best James Wan can do, his directorial days are numbered. It seems Hollywood has a habit of churning out crappy horror films. Make anything to earn a buck.
The topic of this film isn't new at all. Astral projection.
I had seen a film of this sort long ago. It was called Out Of The Body (1989). It was about a man who unknowingly goes out of his body in his sleep and kills beautiful women. Then I saw The Blue Man (1985). This one was about a dissatisfied Montreal director of TV commercials is taught to astrally project himself by a mysterious woman. But soon he finds that he does it against his will when he sleeps, and while he does it, he commits savage acts against those in his life.
Then I saw The Poltergeist Trilogy of films and The Nightmare On Elm Street.
A seasoned horror film fan. I have watched horror films going back to the 30's. Nothing is new to me. This film is especially made for newbie horror movie lovers who have no experience at all and for whom this film is made. That's where all the cash comes from. I pity these suckers who spend their hard earned money on this film.
Plot of film: a family of five (husband, wife, two small boys and a baby), move into a new house. Their youngest son has the habit of astrally projecting himself during his sleep and wandering the realms beyond, until he gets trapped in a far-off place called "The Further".
The boy's father has the same inherent ability. He has to go into hypnosis, project himself astrally and rescue his son.
This was the biggest mistake made in the film. All of James Wan's films have terrible endings. This one is NO exception.
Verdict: either watch it online for FREE. Or RENT IT CHEAP, or borrow the DVD from a sucker who has already bought it and now plans to use it as a Frisbee.
