Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)

Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 1/4 (Bad)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). It's completely ridiculous, but for some reason doesn't want to admit it. It takes itself too seriously (with the exception of the requisite comic relief one-liners) to be much fun, and is too inherently silly to be very suspenseful. It's well done on a technical level, though.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.8/4 (Eh)
