When does it get interesting?

Rating: 3/10 (3 May 2004)

About the only thing that separates it from the rest of the
friends-get-stranded-and-killed movies is the Book of the Dead plot. Otherwise, I got the idea of it, even though I fast forwarded through the majority. I'm not sure if I'm going to move on to the sequels; nothing about this movie compels me to do so. The ending, trying not to give away any spoilers, just leaves it hanging open with no resolution and makes it too obvious that it wants a sequel. I'm not even sure if I can qualify it for its perceived "camp" value; dull, flat acting from four of the five cast members, weak special effects (yeah, yeah, yeah. I know: it was made in 1981! What did you expect? "The Matrix"), a storyline that was new at the time, but I've seen at least 100 times before and 1000 times
better. * of ****
