    What?
    Okay, this may be based off a book by the guy who wrote "American Psycho" but this was indeed amateurish and humdrum.

    What "curse"? Seriously, where was this curse?

    The only thing I can give a great performance score for is Kevin Zegers 7/10. The female lead? Holy crap! Did she just finish film school?! She was monotone the entire movie. She was almost painful to watch.

    The script? Whoever wrote this movie needs to go back to film school and finish their degree.

    This was utter chaos and cheap. There is zero suspense and the plot twist was obvious, to me. This movie was all over. It will certainly curse anyone who watches this with the fact you can't get those minutes of your life back.
