What's the guy who wrote the review talking about?


The main reviewer underneath the film. He says the movie becomes laughable and loses credibilty toward the end.

Yeah, like since when have thriller/horror movies been totally realistic? Ha.

Yeah, but if the bad guys aren't supernatural or undead, you sort of expect it to be slightly realistic. For me it was over when she stabbed the doc in the neck and smuggled an adult patient on a stretcher out of a hospital. I mean, yeah, it was a back woods hospital and not a major medical center, but still.

Oh, and when she called that first doc to the house and then abruptly chased him out? Wouldn't you think he might've called social services or the police or something?

And the diaper lady. When it became clear to the diaper lady that she was faking a pregnancy don't you think she might've alerted the authorities? I mean, there's always something in the news about women faking pregnancies and then stealing a newborn or conning a charity out of free crap.

There were some good performances, but the movie itself is tripe. I mean, I realize that sometimes you have to suspnd disbelief in order to enjoy a story, but this one really pushed the envelope. It should've been a cartoon!

Yes, that review was spot on.

The last 30 minutes or so were terrible and pretty much made you go WTF.

The movie should have ended 30 minutes or so sooner than it did.

I wanted absolutely everyone in the movie to just die already, of natural causes or whatever the crap they wanted to die of. Just get it OVER with already. Jennifer Tilly gets murdered 14 times here, and Daryl Hannah only attempts escape 8 times.

This is the worst kind of movie, one that strings you along and never accomplishes anything at all. Sidney J. Furie sucks.
