When I saw the cumulative review score on IMDb, I was quite surprised. I hated this movie - absolutely hated it. 95% of the time, I'm in agreement with whatever rating IMDb has given it. Not this time.
Arch Hall, Jr. is more annoying than any character I have seen in a movie. He's hammy, squinty and has an incredibly strange voice. Listening to him giggle and watching him grin throughout ran my nerves. I didn't find him frightening at all. I don't know if he was told to act that way or whether it was his idea.
Most of the other actors do at least an adequate job.
I have no issue with the subject matter - I watch all types of horror and suspense. This film would have been great if they had an actor worthy of the role. Unfortunately, they didn't.
I know that some reviewers have really enjoyed this movie. My advice? Watch the first 15 or 20 minutes and if you can handle Arch Hall, Jr., feel free to have a go at it. If he annoys you the way he did me, I'm letting you know it doesn't get any better.
