Fun
20 April 2002
Okay, so this movie took a beating. The dialog is hokey, Jeremy Irons is hammier than a pig farm, the plot is dumb... but, it's good fun. Don't take it seriously. If you're a D&D fan then try and forget it's D&D. Xena and Hercules are popular Saturday no-brainer entertainment, as is this.

Majorly creepy
1 April 2002
This has got to be one of the creepiest films I've ever seen. No dumb monsters leaping into shot, no guts spilling all over the place, just a superb mix of audio and visuals to give a really chilling film. Oh, and a suitably simple but effective story.

Incredible is one word to describe it...
4 March 2001
The acting in this film is rotten, the music similarly crass, and the plot so full of holes it's surprising they were able to string a movie together from it. But...

It's very funny.

Watch this with some mates and you can all have a laugh as the sheer stupidity of it all unfolds in front of you. Why does that nurse run through a glass door? Why does Steve lurk around his friends house, fertilising the garden? Pre-pubescent kids taking a puff? And what's with the head in the waterfall?

I'm sure the intention was to make a genuinely scary film, but it's more like an Ed Wood effort. The only thing they managed to do well was the effects.
