Great acting is what makes this movie.
30 June 2014 | by – See all my reviews

I'm a huge fan of Horror and am always searching for a well made, well acted story, even if it does follow the same tropes.

This is a classic "be careful what you wish for" story.

A man receives a Monkey's Paw from a fellow co-worker and is granted three wishes. His first wish is selfish, and results in an accident that makes his second wish unavoidable.

That is when the fun starts.

Stephen Lang makes this movie. He was interesting and engaging in Avatar, but this performance was emotional, visceral, and thoroughly entertaining.

C.J. Thomason left me scratching my head as the lead character, but he was just good enough to not ruin the story.

I definitely went into this without any expectations and though the story is not new, and the characters did do some dumb things with stilted dialogue at times, I think the very interesting setting and the performance by Lang makes it worth watching.
