Unrealized potential

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2004)

Both before and after seeing this movie, I LOVE the concept. Unfortunately, it was all wasted on bad acting and character development.
I really didn't invest emotionally in any of the characters in this movie, and the horrible acting made me WANT the characters to die, just to put them out of my misery. There were moments when the suspense was completely ruined by horribly delivered lines that made me chuckle.
The twist at the end was a great idea, but I think it could have been better. A so-so thriller that is worth renting just so you know what happens and can dog it out when other people are discussing.
Admittedly, I was a little freaked out at the end of the movie--walking out through the dark theater. Unfortunately, this had nothing to do with "Saw," and was only because I'd seen "The Grudge" the day before.
