Excellent Opening Night!, 3 December 2001
Author: Wesley Neskora (wneskora_88@hotmail.com) from Texas, USA

This is a great movie so far! I've just seen the first night. I'm going to see Part 2 tomorrow night! It's so exciting! And...kind of...twisted? Could I put it? It just had so many...BLAH! There's no way to put it into words! It's an excellent fiction meets fantasy mini-series! In a few words...JUST WATCH IT! 10/10
