[QUOTE="xmikex:912004"][QUOTE="BobNOMAAMRooney:911866"]It's great if you're afraid of shadowy figures standing in the corner of the frame every five minutes and the weak "omg kids are playing hide-n-seek and uncover TERROR" gimmick because this movie uses it twice over a twenty minute span. And Virginia Madsen is a horrible actress. The only highlight is Elias Koteas and he's in it for like 15 minutes.[/QUOTE] 100% agreed here. Koteas was maybe the sole bright spot in this entire film and that's only because he's the man. The thing was, his good acting juxtaposed with the rest of the terrible acting actually magnified the bad acting even worse. By the time you had him and Virginia Madsen in the same shot it was a split screen where one side of the screen was Citizen Kane, and the other was showing Ace Ventura Jr. My room mate told me that the guy who played the father actually isn't a bad actor at all, and that he had a great role in Weeds. But holy shit did he ever phone in this performance. I laughed my ass off when they cut to him shitfaced playing guitar in his basement. It just kind of epitomized how sloppily thrown together that plot was. You didn't find out until like an hour into the film that he was a recovering alcoholic, you don't believe for a minute that he's actually married to Virginia Madsen, and what the hell is he doing playing guitar by himself in a basement? The other girl was a considerably better actress (or at least less over the top) than the mother, and yet she's only in about 5% of the movie. By the time they try to make her a major character (again over an hour into the film) it's way too late, and you've already lost track of if she's their daughter or their niece or what. And I swear to God is there some sort of Final Cut Pro horror movie plug in package where you can just drop Marylin Manson video effects into your timeline? Almost every horror movie I've seen this century has been hell bent on using cheesy Nine Inch Nails looking editing tricks. Grow up already and use your brain not just your effects panel. And on a more superficial note (SPOILER), if those bodies hidden in the walls had really been there since the turn of the century how were they so well preserved? If that was the least believable thing about this film then I would have been a pretty happy guy, but it was really just the cherry on the shit sundae that was this film. I'm sure I'll have more to say about this awful movie as the day goes on, but that's my opening effort. [/QUOTE]
