What genre is this again?

Rating: 5/10 (7 May 2006)

All right gamers out there. Before you start attacking me en masse like the obvious cgi bugs in the movie, let me say that I come at this as both a gamer and a critic.
It's not that the writing was bad. It was, in some parts. (I mean please, check this little delight of an exchange: "They used to say this place was haunted" "I think they were right". Please. That is no good. No good at all). And it's not that the acting was bad (though, yet again, it was a little laughable in some parts). I didn't even mind that most of the cgi was more video game and less motion picture (except the creatures (but the bugs were bad)). I know exactly what this movie lacked. Tension. Many of the things that should have been scary were just interesting instead because of the lack of tension in most all the scenes. The nurse crying blood, the weird nurses, the two blade guy, the barb wire guy, these things should have been scary. But I brushed them off and waited for the next thing. All the darkness scenes should have been scary, but instead they were just fun to look at. A bad directorial and editing mistake. Otherwise...rent it.
