Oh man its bad ..........


real bad - I am glad I only paid $4.75 for the movie ticket. No real story or even much plot.

How embarrassing for you. There was quite an elaborate story. Personally I wouldn't expose myself to the ridicule of being too slow to understand the plot of a horror movie. It's not exactly rocket science.

Movies are IQ tests; the IMDB boards are how people broadcast their score.

I love this genre but found this film mediocre. I loved the short it was based on and high hopes for this, but the short had so much more tension than this did.

I guess there was only so far they could go with lights on/lights off, and the blacklighting was a great idea for the 5 minutes it lasted, but they expanded a good concept into a dull straight to dvd style movie. The acting was okay it was the script and direction that were flawed, and the Diana character wasn't quite rounded enough.

Really the shame is it wasn't picked up by a big studio and given a better screenwriter and director.

The "good" reviews use too many buzzwords, they absolutely reek of astroturf.

"It was a compact and powerful experience! Chills! The progression was so tense!"

It was a good movie for what it is, horror is not known for good story, I'm guessing some people here are very new to the genre or they are just rather clueless overall.

The movie at least tried to do something slightly new, even if it absolutely wasn't anything "deep" (which no one is expecting in this genre anyways).

The IMDB score is spot on (6.5), it's not great, but not bad.

I graded it on a curve because of that and gave it an 8. I am thirsty for decent horror movies.

I would say my memory is not what it used to be. But I don't remember what my memory used to be.
