Choose Your Own Adventure Book

Rating: 2/10 (22 January 2013)

Much like any good Choose Your Own Adventure book, we're put firmly into the main character's point of view. This is can be a good thing indeed. When it's not done, the audience is left without anyone to identify with, and therefore cannot suspend disbelief long enough to get through the entire story.
Unfortunately, unlike with one of the real books, we can't just put a bookmark at the deciding point, pick one, and hope for the best. We're drug along from one poor decision to another, where each and every choice leads to another dead child, or the ghost thereof.
Although the ending is not a twist, like with an M.Night Shyamalan title, it, like his movies, should have been an episode of The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, instead of a full-length, drawn out, film.
