Potentially strong female actors, in just below average film?

Rating: 2/10 (7 September 2005)

It's sad to take a film with strong female actors, and throw them in a mediocre story. One would have thought that the cast was destined for better things than a "horror" flick.
Throw in camera angles, gore, horror, and the typical canned approach to many rehashes of the basic "something in the dark" scenario and people think it's a hit? Sorry, but the art of making a film is about the strong story, not used as a playground for a B-movie.
Too bad the story had to weigh itself on the acting alone, not much to go on once the horror begins and the acting turns into a scream fest and cheap thrills.
