Having read praises in Amazon about this movie, I purchased it instead of renting it, thinking "If so many people are saying good things, I'm sure I'll watch this multiple times".
I couldn't delete this movie from my hard-drive fast enough once I finished watching it - $15 completely wasted!
The only reason I've rated this movie two stars instead of one is, from a technical standpoint (audio, visuals, editing) it was sound.
HOWEVER (here there be spoilers).....
Acting - with the exception of one actor (Kevin Kingmaker), it was abysmal (and the exception was not good, he simply wasn't as bad as the others).
Plot - this was one of the most schizophrenic movies I've ever watched. One moment, it was a supernatural horror, and then suddenly shifted to a Rambo-wanna-be, except the Rambo character was the BAD guy. And then suddenly, in the last shot, it jumps back to the supernatural again.
Throughout most of the film, we are shown glimpses of Indian spirits, flitting around, but they play no part in the plot at all! Consider if the movie The Ring showed the ghost of that girl throughout the movie, but Noah is killed at the end by some random drive-by shooting and we never see the ghost again. IT MAKES NO FREAKIN' SENSE!!!!
And I'm completely sick and tired of having ALL the "good" characters, characters who I've invested time on, DIE AT THE END, without ANY sort of payoff! I might as well just watch the news, where I can be depressed for free.
I rarely get so agitated with a movie as I did with this one. I only wish there was some way to remove any trace that I wasted money on it from my Amazon account.
I will never trust Amazon reviews of unknown movies again, and I WILL NEVER PURCHASE SAID MOVIES WITHOUT FIRST RENTING THEM!!!
