Awful!

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2002)

I'm a horror film fan from way back, and I love a good scare. I was really looking forward to this film. The trailer made it look great. Unfortunately the film makes absolutely no sense and isn't scary in the least -- unless you're frightened by images reminiscent of some old Nine Inch Nails video.
I can't figure out why a great actress like Naomi Watts would do a film like this after her success with Mulholland Drive. Maybe they offered her a lot of money? I guess.
The movie is terrible -- completely stupid. You want an example? A little girl is suffocated by her mother in the early 1950s using a plastic trash bag. Uh, like they had Glad Bags back then? And that's a small goof in a film full of them, though I won't mention any more here.
Don't waste your time or money on this. Wait till it shows up on the SciFi channel or someplace like that to check it out.
