unbelievable...no REALLY I didn't believe it..AT ALL

Rating: 2/10 (7 March 2003)

Let's start with the good things. The camera work is great. The DP deserves an oscar. If you rent the DVD you'll have to go frame by frame in a few places to really see all the great stuff lost w/ bad editing. The kid (boy) did a great job acting. There's a couple of beautiful actresses (term used very loosely). There's one cool evil (heh) part in the movie. Now the bad: That one cool part comes exactly 5min 30sec before the credits roll. The holes in this plot are inexcusable. There's probably at LEAST a couple hundred light houses on the coastlines of America. Is mental hospital security really that easy to circumvent? There's plenty more but don't want to spoil the ridiculous plot details. Didn't someone else make this movie before and call it 'Stir of Echos'? This is like Stir of Echos and Ghost Ship with a VCR and without a ship. I didn't jump once and don't EVEN try and compare this movie to the Exorcist. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! The pretty shots and the end does not justify the terrible acting and story we've all seen before.
