Bad

Rating: 3/10 (13 November 2002)

Bad.
As in: Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD.
*Minor Spoilers*
The console game provides some basic inspiration here, but essentially what you have is just another Grade B cliched horror flick. We have, in no particular order: a small group of people trapped in a supposedly creepy locale. Standard flesh eating zombies (BTW, has there ever been a LESS scary monster?). A mad homicidal supercomputer watching everything through cameras. A heroine. A bunch of dumb people who get to wander off into the dark and do precisely the wrong thing at the wrong time to get killed. And one CGI monster who probably should have been used more from the beginning. **YAWN**
Throw it all together and what do you have? In this case, a mess. When you're making something this derivative its all about the delivery, and this movie fails badly at building suspense, has laughable dialog, huge unexplained plot holes, unscary monsters, and a goofy pseudo-rock soundtrack that does little to cover up the movie's poor construction (reminiscent of John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars actually). Just a complete failure.
See it only if you're 12, have beaten every console game you own, have finished your homework, taken out the garbage, and can't find any paint to watch dry. And for heaven's sake don't waste any hard earned allowance money on this dreck.
