Not even a renter - well maybe just the game....

Rating: 3/10 (22 April 2006)

Before reading this, please forgive for I have never played the video game; this review is for the horror film movie goers who are expecting an edge of your seat scarefest. The facts: this movie is based strictly off of the video game, let's just say it holds true to it's "R" rating for language and gore, it's over two hours long... The plus is the visual effects are just short of amazing but that doesn't even help stretch this out into a feature length film. I can't imagine what this movie is like for gamers - I predicted the whole thing before the first 45 minutes were done, and coming into this movie I had really no background on the game. Acting in this movie entails screaming, running, and dodging - so don't expect any award nominations..My recommendation is that if you want to see blood and gore, just rent Hostel and or Saw II; or just rent the video game.
