Over-hyped without delivering

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 2009)

I find myself at a loss as to why so many people think this was a great movie. It is amateur in every way! I found the tacky dialogue and poor acting really distracting. There really isn't anything original or scary about this production.
What they wanted to do was let the viewer's imagination fill in the tension. I could see this working given a decent budget, minimal effects, and some decent actors. Unfortunately, this was done on the super cheap and as a theatre-release it just doesn't cut it.
Perhaps the saddest thing about this production is the way it is being promoted. The distributor is trying to use word-of-mouth to turn this into a runaway blockbuster. If the movie wasn't so bad I wouldn't mind.
Don't pay to see this at the cinema - it isn't worth it. It's a $1 bargain bin rental at best!
