Disgusting and excessively violent

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2006)

If I had to judge of sfx alone, I'd say the film was great, but the level of gore towards the latter half of the movie was a huge turn off. I thought the film could have achieved its story/plot without these scenes. The "butch" female cop character...weird and distracting. What was that all about? Did the film break any new ground in the horror genre? I don't think so, it's not original, I've seen the basic premise countless times. The ending was a let down, as was the trip to see the "dark one", or whatever. Pretty looking film, great sets and visuals, but just gross, and not worth the time. The FAQ for this film, posted elsewhere, is so bloated with self importance, its funny. Ooh, they didn't die, but they aren't exactly alive...oh, OK. Psssst.
