[color=#333333][font='Times New Roman'][size=4] On the synopsis for this movie I read ??from the master of horror Ulli Lommel?? and I said to myself, who? Seriously, who is this guy? Though I don?t claim to be an all knowing expert, I will say that I have been a horror fan since a young age. I would think I would have at least heard of someone labeled as a ?master? in the horror genre. I did some research to see if maybe I had gotten out of touch somehow. I looked up Mr. Lommel on IMDb. Apparently if you direct three or four low budget horror films you get to use the title ?master of horror? now. Yeah.[/size][/font][/color].

[color=#333333][font='Times New Roman'][size=4] Anyway, the master really needed to do some editing. I am aware that not all movie plots have to be ?linear.? Yes they can jump around in time perspective. This editing technique only works, however, if the movie maker is skilled enough to keep the story coherent. Between the badly edited flash backs and the excessive use of repeated scenes and filler to drag out the running time of the film the plot gets lost. The music score is something I wish would have gotten lost as well. The actors do pretty well at playing clichés in bit parts and moving through the scenes like they were half asleep. Don?t bother wasting your time with this ?master?s? work.[/size][/font][/color].
