    Maybe you have to be British?
    I tried. I really did. Maybe you have to be British to get it and enjoy it. I know I didn't. I watch a lot of horror movies. I usually go through 10 to find one good one. This is one of the other nine. The first sin is boredom: if you bore me for a good 40 minutes you'd better have one hell of a second act to draw me back in. This one does not. In fact, the second AND third act are so brain dead, so contrived, that I started missing the boredom of act one. It has high production value, and a competent cast, hence the three stars. If it only had a script with a coherent thought...
