1/10
More stupid than scary

Warning: Spoilers
This is definitely a student film project. Unfortunately it's a very bad one even by those standards.

This movie suffers mostly from taking itself too seriously. And it uses every horror technique ever done by another horror movie. The mixture is too much and makes no sense.

The acting is so atrocious I thought they must have just gathered up some kids from the classroom to do this. No one seemed to know even the basics of acting. And the guy who was supposed to be a country bumpkin with a gun was hilarious the way he tried to do a fake accent.

This movie jumps all over the place. First we're in an old house, then we jump to a cave with troglodytes in hoods and an idiotic girl with a torch. Is it a dream or a flashback? Who knows? Who cares? It has one of those strange boxes that unfold kind of like Hellraiser, but that doesn't seem to have much bearing on the story.

Within 6 minutes of the beginning, it had the obligatory lesbian kiss that had no meaning to the story, but it might explain the high rating. These days you have to have that sort of thing just to get a movie produced.

I honestly can't see how anyone could have given this more than a rating of 3. Maybe all the cast voted it a 10.

All the scare shocks are typical of many low budget horror stories these days. They may work to get screams in a theater, but are useless for the story.

The underlying plot is just plain lame. It takes a little while to figure out what's going on, but by then you don't care for any of the characters or what their problems are. And it make no sense anyway.

For some reason they used a mooing cow as a sound effect. You could hear people in the theater laughing every time. At least it got a few laughs. And every time that girl painted black showed up everyone burst out laughing too.

Just when you think you've seen the worst horror movie of all time, along comes something like this.

Wish I could get that hour and a half back.

Bottom line: it's not scary, just stupid.
