  Uuummmm. What?
  
  This started off well enough but then descended into pseudo-religious voodoo territory that was a breathtakingly dull as it was weird/illogical. By the end of ... read more »

  Very Predictable
  
  A lot of promise but ultimately predictable with an almost laughable ending. Starts off well but degenerates into generic thriller.

  Horror? I don't think so
  
  The beginning of the film was very intriguing. However, the plot soon began to feel very predictable and it finished with a mediocre ending.

  Fallen meets Final Analysis in this run-of-the-mill thriller that at least boasts two good performances from its leads.
