Rating: 3.0
Not So Bad
I didn't know what to expect with this DVD. I'd heard some bad reviews of this. However, it wasn't the totally awful movie some say. It is not your basic, horror (ie slasher) movie, it works more with suspense, and the plot unrolling to give you the whole store. (I admit, I haven't seen the original, but then again, I'm judging this only on it's own merit) While not the WOW WHAt a Great MOVIE experience I've had with some, it was entertaining for the afternoon. The effects were good, and there was the element of suspense in many scenes, instead of blood and guts. Buy it , rent it, love it hate, - As long as your not expecting the greatest horror movie ever, and just an afternoon of entertainment, you're fine. and no, it's Not Blair Witch (Oh THANK GOD it's not, now that was overhyped and a huge let down! )
