It was a treat seeing Meg Foster and Mena Suvari and the rest of the cast were all very good. The movie started strongly enough with a very creepy painting in a sinister looking cabin, a scary looking Meg Foster. What's not to love?
I had high hopes for this movie. A good cast, a genuinely creepy feel. When I watch a movie, I respond to atmosphere and dialogue rather than action, blood and violence. I enjoy a good story that builds the narrative rather than torture porn. But that is my personal preferences.
It looked like that was what I was going to get, also a can-do secondary protagonist who was actually useful. But sadly the ending kind of spoiled it. It was a shame, as coming up to the ending I was rolling my eyes thinking, oh great, downer ending, evil wins, out heroine is going to be possessed, then that was turned around. Good ending, but the last scene, seriously, what was that?
I think this was a case of not quitting while you are ahead. I still enjoyed it, but it is probably not something I will watch again any time soon.
