Review by David Rupp

Directed by Kaare Andrews and writen by Paul A. Birkett.
Starring: Jessica Lowndes, Julianna Guill, Ryan Donowho, Landon Liboiron & Jake Weary.

Anchor Bay, God love 'em, dropped this crown jewel into our laps just recently. Helmed by fist time feature director, Karre Andrews, this movie has you feeling deja vu after 30 minuites. The whole thing really looks fantastic on Blu_ray, great effects, feeling and atmosphere yet you still get that nagging feeling of being in this position before. Could it be that the entire film give off a Final Destination "we are filling our destiny" plot? YES IT COULD!

With that out of the way you still get an annoying Tom Cruise-ish male lead, a sort of interesting back story topped off with a Tales From the Darkside rip-off twist. I will admit there are some great cinematography and some genuinely creepy moments but those are few and far between.

Even in the day of slam packed BD goodies, we just get a lone audio commentary, behind the scenes and a concept gallery. I applaude AB for taking a chance but this is not exactly flipping our burgers if you know what I mean. But hey, it looks fantastic. 3/10
