ugh!

Rating: 1/10 (12 May 2006)

I just saw this movie, and as a scary/horror/suspense movie lover, I was horribly disappointed. I have never played the video game, but I feel incredibly disappointed and cheated because this movie could not stand on its own. I walked into with high expectations, and walked out wondering what the hell had happened. Key elements were never explained, several characters served no purpose other than to confuse the story line, and at times there was bizarre sexual tension between Rose and Cybil which I just wanted to laugh at. Some of the gore was fun to watch, but I never even felt grossed out because it was so obviously fake. I wanted to like this movie, but it went on for about thirty minutes too long and for the rest of the day I was trying to figure out how the hell the writers, director, and actors decided it was a good idea to attach themselves to this movie. I'm glad that so many of you liked it, but I, for one, would like my nine dollars and two and half hours back.
