Actress Julianne Moore to me seemed an actress who chooses her projects
carefully. This movie proves that it is just random. For the love of
god I can't think of a reason for an actor or actress to do this kind
of role other than money. There is no challenge at all. The story had a
strong start but then took a deep dive. I understand that it is hard to
come up with new angles on certain psychological issues but why use
them in the first place. The writers and the director didn't know how to
solve their problem either and took the easy way out. While in the
first half there is room for more interpretations in the second half
there is only one interpretation left which asks too much of the viewer
especially with the whole hillbilly nonsense. Jonathan Rhys Myers was
adequate enough although there wasn't a moment he was menacing enough
to be taken seriously. People kept dying in the movie and only in one
scene did it seem to affect me since the drama was laid on so thick
there was no escaping it. The slow pace and the loud sound effects
ruined the creepy ambiance that was created. Loud sound effects usually
are effective if it is followed by a strong scene in which something
bad happens. In this movie we only have the loud sound effect, which is
a very cheap trick to attract attention especially when nothing is
happening on the screen to justify these sounds. I wished I could be
more positive about the movie. But sadly the whole movie felt like a
complete waste of time. Don't bother watching this movie!
