Totally ridiculous

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2004)

This is the most ridiculous and preposterous movie I have seen in a long time. The acting is awful, so over the top it is mostly laughable. The plot makes no sense (OK horror films tend not to but this one is under par). It's involuntarily funny up to a point but a deep sense of boredom settled in with me after half an hour or so and never left me until the end, which seemed very long to come. Some people go for special effects, which has never been sufficient for me to like a film, special effects without any other redeeming qualities is just total emptiness. Combining all the monsters that ever existed is pretty silly although it's been done before many times in equally forgettable old horror flicks. By the way, what is Dr. Jekill doing on the top of Notre-Dame de Paris since that's an English story? But why quibble with details in such a mess.
