...because you'll be disappointed way next year when it arrives!
As if the storyline wasnt bad enough, the acting and special effects made it hard to sit through. Each time someone dies they walk about, act and talk as if its something that happens every day! (the adults that is). Theres not a single scary moment but loads of tense build ups to what you would expect to be scary... then you get a cut to something random like a vase or a bush! (Sorry if this is a spoiler)
The plot was so obvious from the beginning and is so predictable you kind of sit waiting to see if you were right, telling the screen to hurry up!
Infected children killing their parents, all bad actors, acting like its just a normal day in the woods!... they only phone an ambulance/police once near the beginning, maybe they should have called again to check it was coming say after another two people had been killed.
Overall 2 out of 5 as Im in a good mood BUT be sure to turn up half an hour late (or fast forward the DVD) as youll cringe or fall asleep during the first 30 minutes.
