Not so bad, not so good

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 1999)

Ho hum. This movie seems to polarise most viewers into over the top eulogies, or under the bottom castigation. For me, it really did average out to average (plus). There have been any number of documentaries showing people caught out of their usual environment becoming stressed out to the nth degree, and the cast acted out this in fairly convincing form... The last half hour or so builds the tension nicely, and the ending was, well... predictable but provocative. The cinematography was excellent and unique for a feature movie, but I guess it will only work once.
Our 8 year old daughter insisted on watching with us, having assured us she knew all the cuss words ever in the whole world. We believed her and she suffered no sleepless nights and was more intrigued about what really happened at the end. We have a plausible theory, and it hasn't got anything to do with witches.... heeheehee
