I'm an insomniac. I have trouble sleeping. This film cured me. Within an hour. In fact I not only fell asleep, I went into a self-induced medical coma. Messages appeared in blood under my skin: "Please do not revive me until this alleged movie is finished. Please. I beg you."
The characters are unpleasant, but more importantly they are tedious. The plot is derivative, second-rate, incoherent and childish - but more importantly it's tedious. The screenplay is laboured and leaden, and quickly becomes, yes, tedious. The acting is wooden and amateurish, (despite Larissa White occasionally coming close to showing signs of life) but never entertainingly or compellingly so, it is merely tedious. The directing, the camera-work, and the editing are equally cheap, tediously cheap. This is not one of those entertainingly bad films. It's just bad, tediously bad.
I've spent a considerable amount of time wondering why nobody involved in this production, not one of them, had the guts to say to the director, "Why are we bothering? The world would not be diminished even one iota if we abandoned this asinine project, packed up and went home." Why did they bother? I have no answer to that question.
