Video Game Fans might like it, but

Rating: 3/10 (24 April 2008)

for someone watching it as a horror movie, I was unimpressed. I will give it impressive (very violent) special effects and decent acting (esp. the distraught parents). The back-story very poorly explained - which presumably wouldn't be a problem if you were a fan of the game, but was for me. And there is no rational for why Sean Bean's character cannot see the world his wife has entered, nor is it clear what is going on at the end, when they 'go home.' If you are interested in a creepy movie playing with the mother devotion thing (with the added bonus of Sean Bean as father) watch the Dark instead (not as gory but significantly better as a movie).
