Sends viewers screaming into the lobby demanding refunds.

A lukewarm stew of supernatural horror, mythical fantasy and gratuitous gore.

Gruesome, nasty and mean-spirited, with emphasis on gory, gooey special effects.

...two times zero doesn't add up to much.

What ensues is a pageant of special effect set-pieces where innocents are flayed, morphed and disfigured beyond belief and in extreme close-up.
