I think this looks kindof lame, but I love GuillermoDT so I will still go see it.

Plus Jessica Chastain...

Did ya see it Bert??

This one disappointed for me. Great visuals, but that's about it. Considering the cast, I have to put it down to writing.

Not really, no. Some good creepy ghost/blood/fleshy creature bits, but more visual than anything else.

predictable....on the verge of boring...not real well acted.......... but like you said Stout,...the effects guy was pretty good.

lol sorry Oaken! It was so forgettable I forgot to come back to this thread and post my thoughts.

Totally agree Stout, It seems like Guillermo has officially become the Mexican Michael Bay. His movies used to have great writing along with great effects but now it seems like he fired his writers to have MORE EFFECTS!

I had high hopes for this one, it was a really good cast but there just wasn't much to work with. The effects were supposed to carry this one and while some of them were pretty cool, I expected much more from the plot.
