Movie Review

I rarely delve into the free movies on Comcast's On Demand network, mainly because I've seen all of the films worth seeing. But every once in a while, I need to watch a trashy horror flick - and On Demand's FEARnet has quite a few of such things.

While this movie had a interesting premise it fell short due to its lack of character development, and its ability to hold my interesting for the entire length of the film.

It started out pretty decent. The film gives us a question and wants us to answer it. While it proceeds to give us all the clues to answer the big twist of the film it stoops to a really stupid form of horror that was totally unexpected. It seemed like this would be like one of the mystery horrors where there is a killer and the heroine has to figure out who it is before the last hostage is killed, but it turned into a mutant/zombie movie that didn't really make sense at all. Overall this is a really second rate horror that could be overlooked. Simply fearnet free movies at its best.
