Review
Painfully trite horror
yarn dealing with nightmare visions and possessing spirits, this time in
the form of some Jewish mysticism. If the story is refreshing and
interesting in its own right, director David S. Goyer sure isn't able to
convey it. He stumbles through every single horror stereotype he can
find, and in the process is able to castrate any possible scare the film
might have had the potential for. That a film of this calibre is
thematically uninteresting isn't news, but that it is artistically as
dull as this is no excuse for the filmmakers. Gary Oldman appears in a
role he might as well have phoned in.
