The Good:
I honestly can’t think of one positive thing to say about this wretched movie.

The Bad:
There was so much bad and it annoyed me because I wanted to like this movie…the premise was interesting, I am a horror fan and it starred Cassidy Freeman who I have liked ever since I saw her on SMALLVILLE but damn did this movie suck. But no matter how much I tried to like this movie (and I tried damn hard!) I just couldn’t get past it’s awfulness.
On to the bad stuff: the acting was barely above the level of made for SyFy Channel original movie; the plot meandered about with no focus, the supposedly scary/creepy stuff was just dull and goofy; and I absolutely loathed every single character in this movie.
Also the ending sucked massive amounts of balls.

The Ugly
There is one point in the movie where one of the awful characters in this move gets possessed by an old hat (yep you read that right a hat) and rips another character’s leg off with his bare hands with nary a struggle. I mean ripped it clear off like it was he drumstick on a rotisserie chicken.

Final Verdict: I will let the one and only Al Bundy sum up my feelings about this movie:
Al-bundy-displeased

Grade: F

  1. Tom Welling may have become Superman on the series finale of Smallville, but Cassidy Freeman was always SuperHot. Now that she’s been in a horror movie that makes her eligible for Scream Queen of the Month status at Written in Blood. Boo to the yah.

    1. I am a fan of Ms Freeman…she (and Katee Sackhoff of course) are the reasons why I record that show Longmire every week.
