Horrible., 14 July 2003
Author: tarheel777 from US

Please, do NOT listen to the people who gave this movie positive marks. "Horrible" doesn't do this movie justice. Bad acting, sub-par special effects and a bad script are just a few of its downfalls. And Judge R. (the reporter) gave me hives just by his irritating acting.
