The Review

This is a horror story gone wrong.

It has all the intention and cast of a potential great movie, but it fails as it tries too hard.

Firstly how am I to believe that Anthony Hopkins could ever be dad to Benicio del Toro?

They don’t look anything similar. What a miscast.

The character development failed terribly, and I didn’t root for the protagonist.

The special effects was below par and I thought I was watching a student’s film project.

Storywise it doesn’t make sense, and it just doesn’t appeal to me.

An indicator it was a badly done movie, in fact I laughing more than I was scared.

The Good

• A cool gothic appeal to it
• Has the gore and violence

The Bad

• Wasn’t scary
• Editing was sloppy
