Title: Let's be honest....pretty bad
Review: Maybe I am missing some subtlety, and I will admit I am not a big reader of the horror genre, but this was just pretty bad on a variety of levels. I would hate for horor fans to hold this up as a masterpiece of the genre as that would just be sad.This is horribly repetitive stuff.The repetition of some events designed to build suspense I would think in a failed attempt to make this exciting somehow. There are a few moments where the reader can see that the author was building to a big 'reveal' that just wasn't interesting or scary. It is a mishmash of borrowed plots (borrowed from pretty silly sources sadly) told in an indifferent narrative style that overshadowed by the plots ridiculousness.As it is essentially a B grade monster horror movie story (a la The Blob, or Tremors (remember that one?)) this will probably make a passable short (please God make it short) popcorn movie....I just pity the actor who has to try and make a character out of what's on the page here.
Is the review positive or negative?
