Adds up to zero

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2003)

I'm a horror-movie fan, but this one left me feeling cheated out of the hour and a half it wasted. The characters are unappealing (the heroine, for example, is supposed to be the mother of a young son, but you never for a second feel that she cares about him), and the plot -- creepy rather than scary -- is ultimately inexplicable, adding up to zero. The only thing worth praising is the rather artistic photography.
