This movie was so f ucking retarded, and the actors sucked.

Hannah..Oh yes, ERIK KNUDSEN IS HAWT!

reply

I agree with a lot of you, but I had a huge problem with the Natasha McElhone character and the purpose (or lack thereof) she served. First and foremost, after it was established that the German students didn't die from some mysterious contagion, why the hell would a Department of Health worker help solve a string of murders that were beyond her expertise? I just hate how they set up the character to get involved in the case.

There are few things as fetching as a bruised ego on a beautiful angel.

reply

1. The design of the web site (it looks hilariously cheesy and stupid)
2. Stephen Rea's acting (almost baffling how awful he is here)
3. Instead of making it an interesting mystery, the villain is revealed in the clumsiest way possible.
4. Almost every attempt at being scary fails.
5. If you hear a stranger out-of-nowhere offer you an acting gig, you apparently fall for it!
6. Terrible special effects.
7. The pacing (it was feeling so slow sometimes it was like a joke)
8. The endless idiotic lines ("How enticing the smell of cheap perfume can be... or is that fear?)
9. The stupid occurring gigantic white ball.
10. THE ENDING!!!!!!!!!

That's what I can think of for the moment.

reply

the ending bugged the hell out of me. after terry saves the blonde girl from the doctor, she just leaves her on the floor, naked and traumatized, by the doctor's torture stuff and escapes with the guy detective. a normal person would have given her a jacket, helped her out of that dungeon, and took her to the police station or hospital. she just goes home and lays on her bed with a cat.

the end.
