Once the annoying, two-dimensional characters start getting bumped off one by one, it's just a relief that the actors have stopped improvising their own banal dialogue.
Hank Sartin
Director Bradley Parker shakes his camera around a lot.
Wesley Morris
The real stars of the movie are the tired devices and plot points. They're famous, but they're as old as Betty White: The Guide Is Dead, The Van Won't Start, Her Shirt Has a Plunging Neckline,...
Andy Webster
Standard-issue genre accessories (dank stairways, flashlights, overcast skies, frosty windows) abound; shocks are mild and few.
Dana Stevens
You might actively root for their collective demise, if you could rouse yourself to care one way or the other. Go gallivanting in Chernobyl and you get what you pay for, nimrods.
Alonso Duralde
First-time director Bradley Parker (working from a script co-written by Paranormal Activity creator Oren Peli) understands that suggesting is scarier than showing, and confusion generates more...

Terrible. This was a waste of an 1.5 hours of my life. Terrible acting, predictable, and the ending was the worst. I literary predicted at least 4 things in the movie that where going to happen that I got right. Just tells you ANYONE could of wrote this script. Its a shame considering it took place in one of most iconic places in history.
Great Plot, Bad Ending Great movie if you like massacres. It's a mix of I am legend, wrong turn, and quarantine but terrible ending.
Cool story Frightening,good acting, well thought out. Good movie,u won't regret it.
Horrible This was by far the worst movie ive seen in a while. Thank gosh i didnt waste money to rent it or see it in theatres.
I hung in there for as long as I could until the bad acting made me pass out. I can't understand their cautious 'side step' pacing into the building. Look into it. Wow, this movie just really sucks. I don't know who to blame, the writers, director, production crews? Where did these kids go to acting school? These people cannot act at all.
Terrible. Nothing about this movie was good. Every aspect was predictable, and to top it off I wasn't scared at all and I'm a total wuss at scary movies.
Well The only reason I wanted to see this movie was because of Jesse McCartney. I give it one star as a horror movie but five for being a comedy. It was a great laugh but pretty pointless. Also, I would suggest renting before buying. Glad I did. The actual disaster was scarier and sadder than this movie. Hope this helps.

Stephen King, IT!
Horror
2
It can be anything. A fanged monster that won't stay on the movie screen. Something ominous lurking in the basement. No matter what your biggest fear is, no one knows It better than Stephen King. Based on the King Of Horror's 1986 bestseller, It is a jittery, jolting excursion into personal fear. A malevolent force in a small New England town takes the shape of a clown, but he's not clowning around. Instead, he terrifies youngsters and brings some to their untimely doom - until some wily kids fight back. The evil resurfaces 30 years later: meaner, angrier, deadlier. And friends who vividly remember youthful terrors reunite to fight It.
