I didn't hate this movie. There are much worse scary movies out there. But at the same time nothing really excited or fascinated me about it. There are a few unexpected scares which made me flinch, but other than that, it really doesn't deliver. Not to mention the acting from the lead actors is horrible. The guy who plays the lead is ultimately devoid of any expression. He makes Vin Diesel look like a Shakespearean actor. Emma Caulfield, though undeniably attractive, also sleeps through her role. I understand she's on "Buffy," a show I stopped following years ago. Obviously, she doesn't have to do any serious drama on that show, because showing emotion is definitely not her forte! I've mentioned several times: horror movies don't require tons of acting skills! So if you suck at acting in a scary movie, you really shouldn't think of developing a serious acting career. Even in "Jason Takes Manhattan," I felt the acting was decent. It's not that much work! One thing that did impress me was that most of the supporting cast was from Australia, since that's where the movie was shot, and they pulled off their American accents without a hitch. I tried to get into this movie, but it just left me dry. But hey, at least it was only 75 minutes long (if you don't count the credits).
My score: 5 (out of 10)
