it hard to express sometimes just how bad a motion picture be . i mean after all and haven not we all have someone come up to u and say and it the bad motion picture i have ever see . after a while and the term really doesn not have much meaning anymore . while i can not quite say that this be the bad horror film i have ever see ( after see literally thousand of them and that honor i give to rat man with beast in the cellar rank a close runner up ) and it certainly do rank up there in the top bracket of lameness which i usually reserve for old film ( for some reason i expect modern day direct to video horror movie to suck ) . so what wrong with it . well and first of all it fail a usually sturdy horror movie concept ( self reliant woman fight for her life in an isolated rural setting against one or multiple assilaints ) . here we get an endless 100 minute of an unappealing actor try to hide he a psychopath ( a character a supposedly smart a the woman in this movie should have be able to tell after her first conversation with him and but like the rest of the movie and she remain stone still with a concerned look on her face while he have any number of freak out ) and mixed with clumsily direct murder scene and and an ridiculously repetitive and draw out final twenty minute . oh yeah and and there some stuff about this guy be a shape shifting and mind read serial killer who may be possess by the spirit of some kind of dead prospector who have curse the valley . oh man . for good entry in this sub genus ( i be pick more obscure one ) try and death weekend and fortress and or even ritual even though that last one be more of a deliverance copy than anything else .
