I want my money back.

Rating: 2/10 (9 November 2004)

This is not a good movie. Don't get me wrong, it has scary moments and images... but the acting is HORRIBLE! I would rather hack my own foot off than have to see Cary Elwes' performance again. I actually couldn't help but laugh at loud at what was supposed to be one of the more climactic moments. Even Danny Glover was bad. Of course, part of that is because the writing was so horrible. Whoever said in another review that the flashbacks were "seamless" and "unforced" must be on crack. They were horrible and so incredibly forced. The way the Doctor kept prefacing all the flashbacks, it's almost camp... "Let me start from the very beginning..." So, that's bad writing, bad acting... oh yeah... really bad editing. The pace was so off in this entire movie. The director can do a good scary sequence... the guy in his apartment with the flash camera... but he can't direct a movie. Everything else was SO choppy. The police scenes were painful to watch, they were so bad. I'll give them one thing... Great marketing. They've made a lot of money. But take my word for it.. this movie will be FORGETTABLE. Don't waste your money.
