A movie so bad it will make you ANGRY, 5 October 2007
1/10
Author: bridgecheri from United States

Oh JEEEEZ!!! How do these stinkers get made and selected for FILM FESTIVALS!?!?! I kept staying to see if there would be some fantastic plot twist -- Acting horrid; worse than bad adult acting is bad KID acting -- several of those.

This may be the Worst Movie I've Ever Seen In A Theater. Colm can do good work -- I've seen it. Ditto Graham Greene. Must have been a dreadful, dreadful director.

And a bad script. Bad story. In the manner of a folk tale, but badly conceived and realized.

But, too, the photography was confusing. There were several shots of the sort we have learned (from horror films, mostly) indicate another set of eyes -- that is, the camera is in the place of a voyeur, spy, Someone Watching. So we are expecting the "watcher" to come into view -- never happens. Just stupid camera work.

I am still smacking myself for staying!!! Save yourself an evening of regret.
