Does not do what it says on the tin.

What we have here is Mtv giving us what they do best. Fast-food TV. I bought this movie with five British pounds expecting a spooky horror story, only to find out, 80 mins later, that horror has very little to do with it. I found that it felt more like a thriller than horror, and judging by the illustrations on the cover, you can understand why I thought this was horror. The storyline is very familiar to a certain other famous book (which will remain nameless in fear of spoilers), and the editing was fast and each scene was extremely short making the whole thing feel more like a trailer than a movie. But, I'm glad to say, the film does have its good points. I watched this movie with a massive hang-over (which is when Mtv reaches its peek in usefulness) and found that I was in fact, ever so slightly entertained. It was inoffensive at best, with a fair performance given by all. It was not slow or high on its own cleverness, and Nora Zahetner was very pleasing to look at. One star for not pi##ing me off. Worth a rent, but keep your five pounds for something that does what it says on the tin.
