In a Nutshell: Run while you still can. Worst movie I've ever
seen.
Quick Plot: What plot? If I have to: a group of college
kids Retreat to a cabin where one by one they're picked off by a
flesh-eating disease.
In Detail: Don't go. Just don't. Let me defend my
movie-selection integrity while I still can: I saw a review on
TV from Peter Jackson saying something about it being
"masterful" or "intriguing" or something. Okay, there must be
some other guy named Peter Jackson who lives in Hoboken and has
never heard of a Hobbit, because it was atrocious. I have seen
some doozies in my time, and I honestly believe this is the
worst movie I have ever seen in my life. Gratuitous gore,
gratuitous violence, gratuitous nudity.
Scare Factor: I guess the only redeeming quality of the movie is
that it made me jump more than once, and there's even one scene
that has you squirming long before the icky thing actually
happens. Vivid images, but uck. NOT worth sitting through the
movie for.
