Before becoming a big shot in Hollywood, before 'The Lord of the Rings', Peter Jackson made this flick which was ultimately a flop. If I remember it correctly, I even saw this movie when it came out in the movie theater and I did enjoy it back then. So, I rewatched it yesterday with my step-son and I must say, it still holds up pretty well in my opinion. Before 'LOTR', Peter Jackson used to make s... read more

2017 Horror Journal (47 movies items)

" 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. "
