Why is it so hated?


Is it because of the bad acting? If so, who gives a *beep* about acting in gory movies? People who hate movies only because of bad acting shouldn't be allowed to watch gory movies. Is it because the same thing happens 3 times? Well, what's wrong with that? Personally, it didn't bother me. Is it because it's not THAT gory? Well, it's THAT gory, but the Lions Gate DVD doesn't have all of the gore!

Anyway, it really doesn't deserve such a low rating imo... It's entertaining and very gory and that's all it's supposed to be.

I agree, dude. Gets far too much hate. Gore was great, cinematography was really good, cool setting, funny and inspired yet kinda amateurish acting.....I thought it was a very good horror/action flick.

this movie is just so bad its annoying! the acting and story/script especially! is anyone gonna ever tell paul anderson that he is NOT anthony hopkins? and cant act like him?! and when he tries it jus gets annoying? and cmon... even for a horror movie they put no time in the story what so ever. first a bus crashes in order for the story to happen and jus when it all goes good, guess what? another bus crashes again... i thought hollywood was unbelievable but independence day has more reality than this!

Have you seen the rest of the internet, everybody who bashes a film (or toy or show or book or anything else for that matter) thinks they are Roger Ebert.
It's the nature of the internet, If most people didn't have anything to say negatively about something (whether deserved or not) the internet would be a lot more empty and constructive. It's just easier to sh** on something from behind a monitor than say anything really worthwhile.

Anyway the film played out like a classic Brothers Grim Tale but never explained anything and the ending was too vague. I think that throws a lot of people off. But the film while clearly B- horror to a T wasn't Unwatchable Horrible. The acting a bit poor, the premise a little bit of a stretch but if you willing to suspend belief it wasn't that bad.

I personally would of liked some kind of explanation of the creatures in the woods, I have a lot of creatures from mythology and folklore to guess what they were but no clear answer. Also what was the link between the two final characters was never answered.

5 out of 10 stars. Something I'd watch once but probably never watch again or recommend to anybody but a real Horror Buff like myself but even then with a heads up on the low production values.
But hey just my opinion.

Ok you didn't like the film,
But why so much hatred over a movie?
You need a man hug

There is a difference between bad acting and excruciatingly bad acting. The acting in this movie was the latter. At first I thought it was kinda funny how bad they were, but when they got to the house, it was just so bad that it was annoying.
But what really threw me off was how boring the movie was. Even with all the gore. I thought it would never end!
This movie and "Five across the eyes" are the two worst movies I've seen, and I've seen some pretty bad ones.


You can't please everyone, when you bow towards someone, you show your ass to the other.

I guess it's so hated because some people have these things called standards that allow them to differentiate between the piles of movies that have gore AND good acting/writing and the piles of bargain bin movies with a little bit of mediocre gore thrown in between a bunch of horribly made/acted filler scenes.

not everyone gets a hard-on from any little thing with a little blood in it.

My main thing is like someone already said what are the creatures? Zombies? Demons? Vampires? and why there causing the time loop?

reply

Because it's a direct-to-video movie.

reply

Because its so bad that it makes people angry. Anytime a movie has an inept, incompetent pussy as its protagonist sickens me.
