Sorry, no sale (major spoilers)

Rating: 3/10 (12 October 2003)

Although I am, generally, easily terrified this movie didn't do a thing for me. My problems: (1) Why did Watts' sister ask her to look into the death of her daughter whose heart "just stopped beating" when we learn she looked like she'd been dead a month? (2) After they find the kid (which is supposed to exorcise the whole thing) her son says "You weren't supposed to help her." Thanks kid, that's a great time to bring that up. I hate kids in movies who make things worse when they could be helping. (3) What were they supposed to do? Was there a way to stop it? (4) I kind of get the "making a copy spares you" thing - you're spared if you help the kid. But why did the son ask what would happen to the person they showed it to? Who said they have to show it to anyone?
Of course they used the old horror film "out" of alluding to things that, if told, wouldn't work. Like (a) how did they actually manage to have Satan's child? (b) If they did all those bad things to her - why did daddy survive? (c) With a whole island to do it in, why did mommy take her daughter all the way to another part of the state to dump her in the well?
Sorry, just didn't work for me.
