All hype...

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2006)

This film is a perfect example of just how important hype/rumors can be in making a awful movie notorious/successful {other examples would be Salo,I Spit On Your Grave,Last House On Dead End Street..etc.}.Totally void of any meaningful dialog/acting/good camera-work {boy thats a riot},cinematography,etc..{although I will admit the storyline had great potential that was never realized in this attempt}. I will also admit that it was nice to see such a low budget horror movie get widespread distribution and on a profit basis..it has been the most profitable horror movie{ percentage wise} ever made. If only it had been a good horror movie and low budget {like the 70s release of Phantasm that received widespread distribution}.. if you have motion sickness do not try and watch this film.You will puke not only because the movie is boring/awful {ok..the last few minutes are decent..but not worth sitting thru the it all to get there} but the shaking camera-work is absurd...man I find it hard to believe this movie is considered to be so scary and great by so many viewers..I would venture that most who rate this so highly are under the age of 18 and are not familiar with movies like the Exorcist/Night of Living Dead/Evil Dead..etc..you know..movies that are actually scary/well made..
