Boring Spongiform Ensufferable-Plot-empty

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2005)

Okay, I'll give some credit: it wasn't that boring. But you could fly a fleet of Airbus A380s through the plot holes. Some of the reviewers here gave it a 'thumbs up' despite that, but I can't, because to do so would be to validate the insulting of the moviegoers intelligence. This is clearly a case of two dudes with a cool premise for a movie who just decided to make it up as they went along. It's like: what should we shoot next? Hey - wouldn't it be cool if it turned out that the one guy was actually a photographer hired to take pictures of the doctor. And then: we need one last twist at the end - the dead guy is the killer! Of course, anyone with advanced metastatic glioma in the frontal lobe should be able to lie death-like for hours on end. I like visuals as much as the next horror aficionado, but please, give me substance with it or at least make it unnecessary.
