“A somewhat intriguing setup went nowhere. Slowly. Without an actor in the cast! Thankfully, there was little dialogue; what there was of it was delivered flatly. Lots of walking through woods in daylight. Then night fell, and there was more walking in the woods. The ending finally explained one aspect of the setup, but left most of it just hanging there like an overdue bill. I should have known when, early in the film, a radio host actually utters the admonition u0026quot;Donu0026#39;t fear the reaper,u0026quot; and the soundtrack plays a tune that kinda sorta sounds like an inverted rendition of the intro to the famous tune that lacked any balls or cowbell. Turned out to be a fairly accurate summation of the film.”
