Ehhh...

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2004)

Eh is pretty much the most emotion this film dragged out of me. The acting was poor, the editing was terrible, and the writing was lacking. The sets were well done and the ending was surprising (I think everyone has gotten that much out of all the reviews). As far as the acting goes, I could hear the trace of an English accent in American characters and was laughing in key moments because the characters were so unbelievable. There were so many things wrong with the editing that I don't know where to begin. The flashbacks gave the film an amateur feel and took away from the trauma at the moment, certain "scary" scenes were broken up and the suspense was drained, and the transitions from scenes using voice-overs were nauseating. In the area of writing, there were underdeveloped characters (such as the psychopath and his motivation) and the "huge" twist at the end was merely that a man stood up. If the audience cared about this man and knew why he chose to dress up as a pig and use a scary puppet, maybe there would be more closure. Or maybe the twist is that there will never be closure when the sins of man are involved. Probably not though.
