Good plot at least in balance with horrendous acting

Rating: 6/10 (22 October 2005)

The plot of this film has immense potential. And the film is worth watching. Great story, very original, stands out. But: I caught myself hoping for a remake soon. I can only blame the director for the appalling performance of the actors. I have seen many movies with bad acting, and usually did not finish watching unless the movie was unpretentious horror, so as to be funny. The acting in this movie is just about as bad as I've ever seen in my life. I live in Holland, and us Dutch can take a real beating when it comes to this: the Dutch are inherently terrible actors. The fact that I (we) sat this one out, is due to the perfect story/concept, and technical end product. It's a plot you cannot ruin apparently. Even if you are a mediocre director.
So watch it!
