Here’s a horror movie about some U.S. soldiers in Iraq who face an ancient evil in a cave.
\nThis is very mature subject matter with extreme violence and mature language. Not for young viewers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not a very good film. That’s why I posted it. The filmmaking interests me because of its complete lack of vision. It tries to replicate to perfection other films that the director has seen. The director wants to be a professional and get hired somewhere. It shows in his work. Sorry, sir, but you put it out there and I’m calling it like I see it. The problem here is that the film is not frightening. It’s slick and well-shot, like television or feature films, but it spends all its energy that way. You don’t scare people by being professional. You don’t scare them by being violent. You scare them by showing them that you – director – are a little bit off.<\/p>\n

That’s how you scare an audience. Not with professionalism. Try again and make it real this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
