Unbelievably bad movie...quite a disappointment.

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2004)

Whew...where to begin?
The entire movie theater, and it was full, was simply laughing out loud by the end of this poorly acted, poorly written, and poorly executed movie. What could have been a great idea was squandered because of these things. There is no payoff at all at the end...the "surprise" is so far from left field and not having to do with much of anything important, that you don't even really care, and are eager to leave the theater.
While the premise was great, the way it was handled (jumping around from scene to scene, totally unrealistic dialog between the two captives, no building of suspense whatsoever, no plausible or interesting connection between anything, really) killed my interest after about 15 minutes.
Yes, there were a couple of "scary" scenes, but nothing more than what you'd see on a bad UPN show.
If this is the best that Hollywood can do with a scary movie, then I say forget Hollywood.
I'm not sure that the positive reviewers saw the same movie, honestly.
