Marginally original.

Rating: 3/10 (8 February 2016)

I thought, maybe it's about time I watched this. It's been a while since it came out, maybe it will be good; Joss Wheedon is involved, it must be better than average. How wrong I was. I'm not sure where this film fits but it could be re-titled goosebumps and had Jack Black starred in it then it would have been almost as interesting. OK the techno version of a ritual sacrifice is minimally interesting and the commercialization of the "product" for the old gods has some merit but this "horror" film lacks both heart and horror. It is like an intellectual experiment in re-visioning horror movies. Sorry, Joss, this might not be quite a stinker but put it in the same box set as films like "Mausoleum", "Gamer", "Superman Returns", "Mission to Mars" and "Robocop 3", you could possibly put "The Kindred" in there as well just for a laugh.
