A watered down supernatural horror movie and I have seen loads of these types in the past and most of them superior to this one.
This one seems to be directed by a novice. The actors are all bland - no one actually shines in the acting department.
The special-effects in this movie are below mediocre - don't expect any SFX wizardry. Indeed I find movies I that have seen twenty years before have better special effects. In this light I am saddened by the loss of the great SFX legend: Stan Winston(1946-2008) whose alien queen sequence is legendary.
The plot of this film concerns a young boy who is taken for a hunting trip by his grandfather. Soon deep into the woods, the boy discovers a mysterious stairway that leads nowhere and suddenly is attacked by an unknown creature and dragged away, his screams alert his grandpa who comes to his aid but is unable to rescue him.
Years go by and a new group of people come to this exact spot and once again the events of the past unfold.
Sloppy direction, mediocre camerawork and background sound-effects, backed by amateurish acting make this one a very dull and predictable movie to sit through.
Some better movies to see: Mutant 1984, C. H. U. D. 1984, Troll 1986, Pumpkinhead 1988, Leviathan 1989, Tremors 1990, Split Second 1992.
These are just a few movies, there are so many more that I can't write down all of them. Cheers!
