    This movie was just boring from the beginning. It looked like a movie that was directed by someone who doesn't know how to catch the viewers attention. Nothing happened to make it interesting.

    it was alot of nothing actually. A couple of intresting spots, but no, not scary, not exciting, not eventful. It was one of those movies you watch because you think it's going to lead to something and it never does.

    Yes   |   No
