incoherent rubbish

Are you people serious? Reading other people's reviews of this movie, i couldn't believe majority enjoyed this movie, despite it's low rating (or as it would seem). While not everything about this film is a loss, majority of it is. On a positive note, the visual effects are quite good however due to the small budget they were used sparingly. Also, Lance Henrikson did the best he could with this Cleveland steamer of a film. Rick Yune is more wooden than a tree with no charisma at all. Ralf Moeller has fallen very far from his great performance in Gladiator and Rachel Specter is just plain bad. B movie regulars Michael Pare, Natassia Malthe and Danny Trejo all have very limited screen time in this flick too. The film is all over the place, making one wonder if they had missed some important information in a previous scene, but you don't. The new info appears out of nowhere. At no point was i even startled by the "witch". This i blame on the directors, as very little tension or atmosphere was created for action scenes. This film just plods along, quite slowly in fact. I was glad to see it end at 80 minutes. Dare i say it, I enjoyed number one much better. Shoot me now, for i just said i liked a Uwe Boll film!
