Not sure why trash like this gets made ...

Rating: 5/10 (24 October 2006)

It really does give people bad ideas, not to mention a built-in disposition for fearing their fellow man. I mean, seriously, who thinks crap like this up? And why are they not in an insane asylum? That being said, the plot was a bit contrived, and I felt it was kind of obvious what was going on -- no single person could be manipulating all of the scenarios presented. There were too many contradictions to find this plausible (let alone mysterious).
The gore is typical; the direction was interesting. Perhaps the small budget made for the stop-action scenes for a car chase? It just took too long to get where it was going, and all the backstory information gave everything away. Movies like this make a living off foreshadowing, so the clever eye sees all.
Will I bother see parts two and three? Not sure. Usually, the sequels just decline in quality, and since this isn't _The Godfather_-quality to begin with ...
Don't bother with this one; the hype is all for naught.
