There are warning signs when a movie is going to be pretty bad. The biggest one is when the same people are the writers, directors, and producers. This is a sure fire sign that a bunch of bored rich people are about to make a movie for the fun of it and it is going to be a dud!
This one had the telltale signs, but it also had some pretty innovative story lines. One storyline pretty much followed the ancient legend of the Golem from Jewish tradition, but the others were pretty original and deserve credit for being good ideas.
Now, the crime of the situation is that they were played out by a pretty amateurish cast with the exception of the shopkeeper!
The ending was pretty standard and stale. The kind of thing you pretty much see coming from a mile away.
I did enjoy the tales woven into the overall plot, but I cringed every time the casting spoiled the moment!
