the idea of a video game a a movie ( not a movie adaptation of a video game ) isn not a wholly new one and and there have be effort make on both shore to properly adapt the concept without adapt a game itself . st. john wort be in that vein . st. john wort take what it can from game like fatal frame and silent hill and and resident evil and but unfortunately lose it way when force to hold up the movie end of the bargain . picture one of the aforementioned survival horror game and remove the interactivity . just watch someone else play it . someone who suck at it . that a pretty fair description of the movie . it clearly go for that videogame a a movie concept and heavily evidence by the visual stylistic choice make by the director . unfortunately and these choice be uniformly unappealing to the viewer . scene be high contrast and and frequently exhibit a very strong hue . this be not your television set and this be just an ugly movie . the plot doesn not fare any good . the first twenty minute at least be just watch our main character wander around the haunt house . that it . i wish i be joke . it not even suspenseful and either while no hint that the house be haunt and nothing . by the time the allege scare be suppose to kick in and you do not care what happen to these two . any stab at an actual coherent plot in the film seem force and contrive . the direction and plot be clearly go for more suspense than your average survival horror film and but they fail and the movie be a dull eyesore . if you want to see a more lively and entertain videogame a a movie i strongly suggest seek out biozombie . content wise it isn not comparable and but the match in style be there except for an important distinction represent biozombie be watchable and entertaining and and st. john wort be not .
