Low Wattage Horror mishmash lacks not only the right stuff to consider itself a good movie but lacks a competent director who knows what he is doing with the material he is working with and a lead actor who knows how to act. The story makes no sense and does contradict itself at the end of the film and the special effects really don't amount to much at all. Rachel Weisz does give the movie more than it deserved with her great performance but she's basically the only actor in the movie who knows how to act while the rest of the film is filled with actors who can't get past the horrible script that is making this the film as horrible as it is. I had never read the comic book but after a friend begged me to read it after I told him how disappointed I was with the film, I decided to check it out. To my surprise, the comic was not only well written but it was much scarier to boot. I don't know why the powers that be behind the scenes messed up so badly with this film considering the fact that if it stood faithful to the comic book, it would have been an amazing movie but with Keanu Reeves as the lead actor, you know up front that the people behind the scenes really did not care about what they were making.
Avoid.
