Mind-numbingly stupid and not the least bit scary, with some totally fake-looking sets that, for a film with an estimated budget of $20 million, is totally inexcusable. Surely all that money didn’t go to Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is in the film for all of two minutes before falling predictably to her death (while keeping her hair lustrous and beautiful). And for a movie that is in all other ways designed to appeal to (particularly thick) 12-year-old boys, they couldn’t even manage to replace her with an attractive protagonist (though there is a stunningly juvenile, PG-13 girls’ locker room scene).
In a word: worthless.
