It's rare that I watch a film and hate everyone involved and everything that occurs on screen but this is the exception to the rule. Admittedly, I'm probably a little old for this film but I find it hard to believe that even it's core audience would find much merit.
The characters were extremely two dimensional, the situations entirely unbelievable and the so-called 'twist' could be seen from miles away.
I imagine that if Nickelodeon started making horror movies, this would be the result. It limped along at a snails pace and the stereotypes of some of the characters appalled me. Surely, even pre-pubescent teens can see through that sort of thing. It strikes me that Frank Perretti has written about people that he has never, ever come into contact with and has no knowledge of whatsoever.
Add to the mix a mish-mash of heavily contrived dialogue and you're onto a losing formula.
Avoid at all costs, unless you're 12/13. Even then, go and watch 'Spy Kids' or something......
