how on earth did they get funding??
28 February 2006
i just saw this film here in Brunei, and like myself, most of the audience were disappointed. How on earth did this get funded? I couldn't believe Sean Bean was persuaded to do it! In fact, i thought it was a few years old and logged onto InDb to check its age! I thought it was one of the most formulaic horror films i've seen for years! It had absolutely no original ideas whatsoever! I actually was born and raised in the location in which the film was supposedly set and frankly, what a wasted opportunity! The area is absolutely stunning yet the film showed virtually nothing of the beautiful place (The Gower Peninsular in South Wales)...it could have been set anywhere!!? And why did they have a Scotsman, Maurice Roeves, playing a Welshman? I am sure Sean Bean WONT be Adding this to his "best of.." list. What a waste of time. It even broke the cardinal rule of horror films...IT Wasn't SCARY!!
