Yikes!!, 22 June 2006
1/10
Author: kimeskj from United States

It took 3 attempts to finish this turkey, and I only did it because my husband was interested. Sad to say, all of our guesses as to what was happening were better than the actual plot. Who makes these things and why? Whatever they paid the actors could not possibly have been enough to compensate them for the damage it must have done to their future careers. I have been a lifelong fan of the Horror?Thriller genre, and this is a reasonably unique picture. I would rather see a trite plot that makes some kind of sense than whatever the heck this was. Watch this puppy at your own risk. There is no redemption for a movie that drags on without any real hint of what's going on and at the end there is no satisfaction.
