Poor camera action...wooden dialogue...interesting story.

Rating: Null/10 (1 August 2004)

***Spoiler*** I expected a lot more from this movie. I knew something was wrong when one of the beginning scenes was as steady as someone filming with a hand-held video camera. Listening to veteran actors, Weaver and Hurt, saying their lines was reminiscent of the autistic boy from "Mercury Rising". Sadly, I had guessed the movies plot when I saw what looked like giant porcupine quills sticking out of the (obviously fake)monsters 'Little Red Ridinghood' cloak. What monster would have a sewing machine? Why would Walker (William Hurt), if he is a billionaire (and a college professor), be attending group therapy for grieving families?
What was the point of 'the color that is not allowed'? What color did they get when they slaughtered the dozen or so turkeys that were on the banquet table? Where did all of the clothing and food come from? The picnic tables were obviously made out of modern 'finished' lumber and put together with nail guns. Since when does a security guard shack have a fully stocked 'unrefrigerated' medicine cabinet complete with Penicillin. Poorly contrived...there are too many unanswered questions.
