Review:
The movie starts off really good, with a good looking cast that seemed to be talented actors for the first 25 minutes, then movie takes a sudden turn for the worse.
There is Looming music for the final hour of the movie that doesn’t stop, even when its just 2 people talking to each other you can still hear the same music in the back ground you heard about 20 minutes ago none stop, unfortunately it doesn’t stop until the credits start rolling, I’m guessing it was supposed to give the movie some kind of atmosphere but all it did was irritate me.
There seems to be no sound effects what so ever which again gives no atmosphere at all, even when the boats engine is turned on you don’t hear any sound effects you just get the constant irritating music in the back ground instead which wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t for the fact iv been listening to the music for the last 40 minutes.
The story and movie had potential to be good, but the script was terrible and hard to follow, it had a lot of twists and turns in the movie that were unexpected, but to be honest I didn’t understand a lot of what was going on due to bad story telling and bad acting, and when something shocking was supposed to happen at that point I no longer cared about the movie so it wasn’t really a surprise.
Now we get to the CGI, WOW! I have to say it’s the worst CGI I have ever seen in my life the spiders looked like the were glowing in the dark and had no detail to them at all, it is a prime example of why I do not agree with CGI in horror movies over the real thing or puppetry and costumes.
On the plus side the first 25 minutes was good!
Scores:
Music and atmosphere a rating of 2/10
Special effects and sound effects 2/10
Acting and story telling 4/10
Overall Rating for this movie I will give a 3/10
