All hyped up, no place to go...

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 1999)

I finally rented the DVD of this terribly hyped up movie, put it on my 40 inch screen with surround, turned off the lights, and wasted 90 minutes of my time. Maybe it is the age difference (I'm 39), but I didn't have any sympathy for the characters. Their total lack of preparation, and misplaced confidence to near arrogance just blew it for me. In fact, with all the screaming and whining and crying, I just couldn't wait for the Blair Witch or whatever was out there to finish them off. I thought the concept was terrific, but it just didn't do it for me.
