After the fantastic Together (2000) that I gave an 8, Moodyson returns with this sleeping pill of a sequel. It would seem there is nothing interesting that can be said about these people as Moodyson didn't bother to come up with much of a story and instead focuses the energy into actor experimentation that goes nowhere neither revealing any actor skills nor depth of anything.

Everything feels like a second thought and scenes are like short films very loosely connected to each other. There's a framing timeline but it has no real meaning. I just wish he would had been quiet and hadn't made this pile of crap.

Unfortunately there have been signs in other films he's made that he's not as skilled as he tell himself as do some of his apologists that thinks he could do nothing bad. This is worse than bad. This is boring. Bye Lukas.

This could have been a scary and interesting look into the mind of a serial killer. Kevin Costner does his role quite well, as should be expected, while his wife played by Marg Helgenberger is merely an easel figure. That's just unfair. His daughter, played by Danielle Panabaker adds some interesting twists, but is mostly a distraction to pass time.

"Mr Smith", carried out by Dane Cook, isn't very interesting either nor his destiny, even if this role is integral to driving the story.

First two thirds of this movie is all-right, then Demi Moore's one-dimensional acting suddenly loses all traction and and at least one pointless and badly executed "action" scene ends all suspense and puts this title into b-movie category.

The script doesn't actually add up to more than that anyway. It's trying to be what it's not. Anyone putting this high up simply hasn't watched anything worthwhile. Waste of time.

I remember clearly going to this in great company, to a real theatre, and how we laughed through the whole thing. It was appalling how bad the story was, the sub-par acting and how not afraid one could be. This moviemaking to despise. It isn't even ironic, just so bland and stupid.

Everything in this thing is lame and boring as ... .It's obvious to me that Wes Craven just doesn't have it. The Terror On Elm Streets movies are a little better, but mostly also boring not scary stuff. Wes is a bore!

If you're a little child that get scared of anything, maybe you can feel something by this dismal thing posing as a horror movie. But if you're in your teens or older this just isn't up to snuff.

To watch something actually well-made, with a good story and great acting may I suggest American Psycho with Christian Bale (2000, original story by Bret Easton Ellis), or the original Psycho (1960, by Hitchcock) with Anthony Perkins?
