Why are really good actors so against appearing in horror films? Many rarely do. We are left with average to poor ones,as in this case.
Many of these efforts can have interesting premises but all too often they suffer from poor acting,poor scripts and direction,as in this case. There is no tension at all.

I’m a big fan of the ‘so bad it’s good’ genre,(as exemplified by Ed Wood),but this film is just plain bad.
I’ve tried hard to find something positive to say but I can’t.
The best quote of the film?…”I always thought I’d make a great actor”.
