Pretty good... not Hollywood horror trash
22 December 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This movie has been sitting around for months now waiting for me to watch it. I finally did, and I have to say I am very pleased. It is definitely reminiscent of, and rivals, Silent Hill. However a lot of people seem to have some stupid reasons for not liking this movie. Honestly: the CGI and costumes were not bad (think 'Big Trouble in Little China' but better), the acting is classic A-Movie horror (Poltergeist), "gore" is not the focus of the movie, but is used effectively, and the story, while understandably a bit confusing, had good pacing and impact.

Now, I'm not ashamed to say, I like b-movies... a lot. But I've still been let down by recent Hollywood horror films. I'll take this over one of those lame Saw sequels any day.
