It's not the arrival, it's the journey

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2001)

I rented this film, so I don't know how well it would show in a theater. On reflection, I speculate that it can't possibly be good. The ending is too much of a slap-in-the-face.
But we had a lot of fun watching it. The highlight of the film is watching the flashlight flail around in the darkness, in the middle of the night, miles away from nowhere. You are ready for Heather's powerful flashlight to bounce off of...anything and everything. When it doesn't happen, you go slightly crazy with anticipation. I suspect that folks who didn't like the film, would have to admit that, but only if painted into a corner.
But arguing with people and trying to make them like the film, would be ungracious and would miss the point. Should this have been marketed and hyped the way it was? Probably not. Should it have been kept secret so we could all save our money? No way! All in all - if you connect with it, this was a fun flick.
