Scary movie??

Rating: 1/10 (19 April 2005)

Unfortunately, the lowest I can go on the rating scale is a 1. Never have I seen a movie with such a GREAT premise and promising directing lose so much because of the acting. Carey Elwes was extremely disappointing for such a seasoned actor. I mean this was suppose to be a scary movie and I couldn't help but laugh at the over dramatized way Elwes told Wannell he would send help to get him. Wannell's work wasn't nearly as bad and he's a newcomer.
Overall, this could have been a great movie given some better actors, major script adjustment and WAY more than 18 days to shoot.
I mean give me a break!!! You've got two guys chained at the ankle on either side of what appears to be a bathroom and a (supposedly) dead guy in the middle of the floor and you're telling me that neither of them, one being a doctor, notice that he's breathing?!?!?!? What did he do, hold his breath for 8 hours?!?!?!?
Comparing this movie to Se7en and Silence of the Lambs is just plain ridiculous.
Sam Raimi did a better job with The Evil Dead his first time around.
The only thing scary about this movie was the acting.
