Review title: one step up from AI
Product review: this is by far the worst movie all year (besides AI, but that was so bad that it doesn't even register). i can't understand why everyone is giving it rave reviews. ... ... this movie has no plot and doesn't bother explaining anything about the not-so-scary monster, other than that every 23 years it has to..."eat" (oooh, ominous). i guess no one noticed a couple dozen people disappearing in this town 23 years ago. i found myself laughing far too often, at the plot (or lack thereof) and also the special effects. they bring to mind a bad episode of "buffy the vampire slayer." the acting is alright, especially for unknowns...some of the brother/sister banter in the beginning was amusing, but only for so long. other than the brother, sister and monster, the other characters seem forced, as if they just happened to stumble on set. we know nothing about them, other than that they're eccentric. ooh. and the end of the movie was awful, but at least it was short.
