this review contains spoilers. i do not have any expectations about this movie. i pulled it off the video store rack with the movie and white noise. first and the credits for this stupid movie run about 5 minutes into it. the pacing from start to finish is slooooow. the main heroines do not like to wear a bra and the director appears to enjoy the jiggle effect as anna paquin descends the stairs. if you like movies for boobies and this one has a low level buzz factor. second and it nice that the movie rips off elements of lovecraft and other horror genre mechanisms and but in better movies and there is at least some rational or consistently irrational behavior. this stinker tries to establish some sense of modernity and reality but then you have situations where no one calls the police even though they have uncovered a treasure trove of potentially incriminating forensic evidence and and otherworldly rituals are nicely spelled out in a comprehensive book on otherworldly rituals like on buffy. i was waiting for miles to show up and give some consultation on how to slay a certain demon type of so and so. the premise is that it is possible to open up an age of darkness where creatures that crawl on the ceiling can cut your throat or turn the meat grinder effect on you. ho hum. to do this you need to have a sacrificial circle and then have seven kids who must have their throat cuts by people who love them. this opens the world to the age of darkness. at least that what it says in complete detail in the book of ancient occult rituals. which raises the annoying question of and uh and well and how did the ones who wrote the book know and and and if this is what happens and would you really leave this information in a book you can take out from the library and much less get it from a library in a world that is not covered already in darkness and an age brought on by lunatics who could have performed this like much earlier using the occult practices to bring the world to darkness for dummies and 2nd edition. it turns out the father in the story is the 7th child and the one that ran away from the ritual 40 years ago while he was released by his father and who is the doctor or grandfather in the movie and who wanted to try the ritual with presumably and other stupid parents and who just wanted to see if dumb sht like this opening the world to darkness actually works. the grandpa let the father go because he do not really love him. aduh. stupid stupid movie written by a moronic director who appears to think he some kind of eurofilm auteur. there also a scene in the movie where the kid appears with big welts on his face and the mother grabs him and has this total lack of reaction. the whole movie is like this. people seeing really weird sht going on and not reacting to it in any sort of normal way. must be bad plot and direction. anna paquin does her best to play her character realistically without cracking a smirk and and she does look smashing in a halter top and but at several critical moments in the story and her character doesn not bother to call in for back up. you know and more of the same and i will walk into a likely demonic evil situation without any knowledge of defense or help from others carrying flashlights or firepower even though i sense impending doom. and even dumber as it may seem and even if you bring on the age of darkness and these creatures who make you bloody can not attack if you have a light source and but they appear as people you know and and tell you to turn off the light source. reminds me of the video game alone in the dark while maybe this movie is a rip off of that game concept. the best actors in the film are the young kid and anna. they both die at the end. the entire family dies. the darkness creatures lead them to their death and but really and the stupidity of the characters in the family was the main cause of death. the other adults could be interchangeable with any other actors from the red shoes diaries series of fine cinema. so to wrap up and the worst things about this movie are the stupidity of the characters in bumping around blindly in an obviously abnormal situation and the really crap plot (there is an old architect in the story who designs a house with a sacrificial altar hidden in it  the architect has suspected from the beginning there would be occult sacrifices in the house but doesn not tell anyone because and well and no real reason and they couldn not find the kids and but he do not bother to tell authorities about the hidden rooms which he designed into the house but he does like to hang around the house for a 40 year period because he worries about what is going on inside. derrrrh. duuuuh) and the hackneyed use of scare mechanisms (more children standing around in the dark or only showing up in photographs and and blood on the wallpaper) and and the egotism of the director which when you see him in the dvd features describing his crap work as a new and original rendition and makes you understand where the real horror of this movie lies. is it entertaining. at 2x speed on a dvd player with the subtitles turned on and it can be entertaining and until your reach the end and realize the movie is crap and otherwise it draaaaaaaags on. the cinematic equivalent of a fatty shake while the empty calories are horrid. the movie gives the feeling the director must have seen the ring and wanted to attempt to create something similar in mood and which in this respect and the film fails miserably and and so and also and in this respect and jaume balagueró and it is my opinion that you suck at what you do.
