Another Lazy Screenwriter

I agree with you, Nova1942. What a disappointment. And I, too, wish I had the four hours back that I spent watching this convoluted mess. Perhaps my expectations were too high. The movie had real potential and I thought I was in for an enjoyably scary treat. But less than sixty minutes into the first installment, things turned sour for me. I found it to be so unrealistic that I could not apply the usual "suspension of disbelief" required for a horror/supernatural movie. The storyline was sloppily written, and the behavior & dialog of Peter Gallagher's character was almost unbelievable at times. Every time I thought things could not get any worse, they did. I suppose the confusing, open-for-interpretation ending has left the door ajar for a sequel or a TV series, but I definitely will not be watching. What a slap in the face and insult to the intelligence.

To further rant, Lifetime's large, constant onscreen logo and pop-up advertisements during the movie were incredibly distracting and annoying. They took me out of the movie time and time again. When will these jackasses realize that we viewers want to concentrate on what we're watching? Who needs to be reminded what channel and program we are presently watching, and what's coming on next? Arrgghhhh!

Yep, one of the worst endings ever! It made absolutely no sense. At first I thought maybe there was another hour left, but of course not, it was only a 4 hour mini-series. I agree, 4 hours of my life gone, although I did fall asleep for part of the movie. :)

I was looking forward to this because of Peter Gallagher and even Peter Fonda. It was just too wierd. I'll just go back to enjoying Charmed reruns or watch Practical Magic again.

Thank you for saving my time. I had it taped but after reading the reviews, I watched a little and agree with you.
