The production does have a few things going for it. There are a couple of moments of actual scariness, the actors experience a few bunches of seconds in which the film actually grooves, and some of the computer-generated scares are used to good effect. Probably the best thing about this film is the set design. The house is fantastically horrible and wretchedly beautiful in the way that only evil can be. But the film itself is a lost soul.
Nothing saves it and no one even seems to try.
Opportunities are frittered away in favor of sensationalism and gimmickry, and the closer the climax is, the more incoherent the production becomes. Sadly, no one wants to make scary movies anymore, they just want to make action-horror flicks. I wasn't expecting much, just basic competence, so I feel sorely tried. Tamara Back to the top.
