Theatrical report

I saw a mediocre film that has great potential. The star being the killer and masterminding the whole thing down to eluding the police at the end is a great idea, but the execution was weak. It didn't catch me. There were some provocative sex scenes but that's about it. I was really hoping to be lured into a thrilling story, maybe even with some weirdo living down the hole who catches teens for fun.

Once again a direct-to-video flick with the best of intentions falls short of the mark.

The road to the video store is paved with good intentions.
