It begins with not one but two prologues; one character turns up out of nowhere, his introduction no doubt left on the cutting-room floor; and the paltry 85-minute running time includes 15 minutes of end credits.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words

This is horror-flick boo-ya at its most rote.
