Disappointing, Disjointed, and Pretty Much Incomprehensible

Rating: 2/10 (20 January 2019)

10 October 2008. An intriguing idea one that I have thought about years ago, but the effort falls far short of compelling and engrossing entertainment. This effort was disjointed, shock-valued horror that betrays the more subtle possibilities that the premise of this movie could have played on. The characters were too strange, almost as strange as the horror-filled scenes themselves. The dialogue was artificial or forced. Only glimpses of true film-making flare were on display. Unfortunately they were far and few between. This movie was a frustrating experience because it felt so unreal, unrealistic which was devastating for a movie with the plot outline that required a stretch to begin with. This is an unfortunate moment in movie-making for a director who had so much potential and took an idea that could have really gone far but fell so short.
