“What in the name of Morgan Freeman is this rubbish? The acting was so wooden it gave me splinters….sadly, they were in my eyes! The plot didnu0026#39;t even have the decency to revel in itu0026#39;s own ridiculousness….and the execution? For such a teeny budget it didnu0026#39;t look bad but the set-pieces that were there to disquiet verged on 6th-form, end-of-term parody. Creepy for all the wrong reasons. What a shame a good idea took the wrong direction. Sure it would have been better in German. Maybe even in Norwegian or Welsh….at least then I wouldnu0026#39;t have to understand the clunky dialogue and painful delivery. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m going off now to exfoliate with sandpaper to try and get rid of this grubby feeling.”
