Title: With an additional $500,000 this film would have been pretty good
Product review: This is a three star story, with a three star score, played out by one star actresses against one star production values. The direction gets two and half. Schmidt is clearly competent but still has a lot to learn.Is it scary? No. There are some genuinely great moments and good scenes but bad acting, cheap effects and poorly mixed audio prevent it from being effective.It's a real shame that mindless crap gets the big hollywood money while smart, thoughtful films like this one have to make do with papermachet and shadow puppets.
