A film so bad it made me sterile.
Really. Just thoroughly appalling. Heaven knows what incriminating photos they had of Sissy and Mr Elder Sutherland to persuade them to get caught up in this, but I can only assume it involved the basest of beasts and the most unflattering of lighting angles.
If you want to know why to avoid this film, the general cliches are: thunderstorms and lightning, scary voices with some played backwards style echoing, the fact that some haunting scenes look like an A-Level modern dance piece entitled "Fear and Angst in a Darkened Room of My Own Torment", the way that they change to black and white film and spinning camera to depict swirling spirits, the just complete inability of any character to react in a normal fashion to events, the odd way that the brother looks like the bloke from Journey South, and the end, which is meant to be morally hard hitting, made me laugh at something I think I might go to hell for laughing at.
It's not all bad. Some of the jumps are very well done. But the rest of the film is so maddeningly bad, laughably wretched, that they're squandered.
