Wow, this was bad

I just watched Agnieska Holland's remake of Rosemary's Baby two or three weeks ago. She made that about 20 years after she worked on Total Eclipse. I was wondering whether the problems with Rosemary's Baby were all the fault of the writer(s) and other filmmakers or if a lot of the fault lay with Holland.

Then I saw Total Eclipse. Yet another film that was technically well made but a disaster as a worthwhile cinematic experience. And I still don't know who to blame.

I couldn't stand any of the characters. In fact, I actively disliked them so much that it was painful to watch.
