Concept: 2/4 (Indiffernet)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 3/4 (Good)

Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good). Sometimes great, often mediocre.
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good). Spacek is great.
Music: 1/4 (Bad)
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, 2/4). Apart from a handful of iconic images, it's pretty bad. I think they decided the genre/tone of each scene by picking it out of a hat.
