Unrest

One of the After Dark films, this one was actually one I wanted to see in the theater. Kinda glad I didn't now.

It's not that the story line was so bad. Corpse has bad juju. Juju kills people.
But the writing...oh dear lord, the writing. The dialog was just utter asstastic. Cringe worthy in spots, WTF in other spots. And near the end, it took a dark turn for the worst, complete with one of those "Blah blah blah, bitch!" climatic lines.

What gets me is the whole advertising behind After Dark. Films so horrible they couldn't get shown to the public. Only, they meant horrible as in disturbing and graphic, not as in a suck ass film. But with the exception of Rinne, what I've seen so far has been utterly horrible. This film was neither gory or disturbing. Sure, I hid a few times. But that's because I'm a wimp. I used to hide from Scooby-Doo for crying out loud.

Anyway...this is a definite miss.

And since when do ashes of human remains look like clumps of dirt?
