Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (27 April 2006)

Like watching a catalogue of horror film clichés.
Went into this unaware that it was a movie of a game. Wish I'd known.
Perhaps the game was very slow moving, and not very scary, in which case the film has set the tone perfectly.
On the other hand some of the imagery depicting the ash falling on the deserted town was haunting.
Some of the cultish nature of the religious group had the potential to be developed further, however, it merely degenerated into a bout of overly hammed up acting and shouting about righteousness.
Character development was pretty much none existent, as was the background to some of the "demons/ghouls" that came and went in the film, eg. What was the purpose of the big guy with the pyramidal hat and big knife?
My advice, steer clear, it's a bit of a stinker.
