" This film is representive of the Peter Jackson horror fans know and love, becoming a Hollywood insider. However, no one would have predicted from this mess of a film that this man would one day go on to make one of the greatest film trilogies ever. This one can't hold a candle to his previous works in the horror genre either, but it's worth a look for completionists. Just don't expect a film that knows what it wants to be, or how it wants you to feel. "
