So .. what to say .. let's start with the positive. Filming was well done as in the cinematography. It was kinda eerie for the first portion until Nicolas Cage showed up. However, the "plotline" was so weak .. wth is happening in this movie really? So many questions, first & foremost what's with the makeup on Nic??? He's spooky looking enough without the extra powder puff applied extensively to his entire head. His acting was SOOOOO over the top, it was actually comical. I am the biggest wimp when it comes to horror movies & I was chortling then literally laughing out loud throughout this movie. Apologies to those who were around me. I don't like when people reviewing give things away but whoever wrote this script really dialed it in. So much was left unanswered & I really hope they don't think about a second movie in order to answer them. I just need some time to wipe my memory clean & live my life. The one thing I'm happy about is that we went on the discount Tuesday night & the popcorn was tasty.
