You know it's bad when you are not looking at the screen. The shaky camera man had epilepsy throughout the movie. Had to look away from the screen to save myself a headache. Sylvester Stallone, Dave Bautista and 50 Cent had nothing to do with the movie. This is a pure Chinese movie with a Jackie Chan wannabe as the main actor. There were only 2 main villains and a handful of guards manning this so-called hi-tech prison with low light.

Chinese guy: "If we put your face on the poster, will you let us act in the movie?" Sylvester: "Sure. Do you know US English?" Chinese guy: "We know Chinese English." Sylvester: "That's great. The audience will not know the difference."

What a load of crap. Did I just watch the same movie as everybody else? THIS crap is the scariest movie of the year??? You got to be kidding me. The so-called "jump" scenes had so much of excessive sound accompanying it, that it was more annoying than scary.

I had trouble coming to terms with the following:

1. This is a crime location, so why is the main character walking around the house in the dark?? If you see something sinister, put on the fcuking flood lights and scare the devil outta there. Even during normal family times, the house is almost dark!!!!!

2. How many more backup tapes of the crimes do the children have at their disposal?

3. From where are the children getting their blank tapes for their crimes?

4. How many more projectors do the children have at their disposal?

5. How did all the crime tapes, taken by different children from different years, appear together?

6. What was the purpose of the dog in the movie? It wasn't at all scary!!!

7. When and how did the main character's daughter get involved in the killing?

8. The drawing on the cover of the cardboard box....... who cannot guess that the writing is that of a child's?

9. And the most troubling part I've had, is, coming to terms with the name of the ghost............ Mr. Boogie????? How on earth did they decide on THAT name? As for the ghost's appearance....... I could have sworn it was KISS. If watching KISS perform makes you scared, then seriously you need THERAPY!!!!

All in all, this movie is for the mentally challenged people ONLY. It was NEVER scary. The children looked like they've just returned from McDonalds after a paint-your-face session. If you really find this, by any chance, scary or disturbing, then you have no business visiting McDonalds. They are just kids with painted faces..... how scary can THAT freaking be??

AVOID!!!!

Useless movie. A total rip-off. Don't get carried away by the synopsis. If you are expecting suspense, sabotage and excessive interrogation, then you will be extremely disappointed. Instead, you will be greeted with excessive drug abuse and alcohol consumption.

Denzel drinks heavily that night and the next day he goes to work to pilot an aircraft. He drinks again while on duty and then goes to sleep (WTF. An Ace Pilot goes to sleep on a plane where the flight time to the destination is just over 50 minutes??? Unbelievable). He's rudely awoken by mechanical failure and he miraculously (crash) lands the plane in an open field. Some people die. There is an "investigation" (don't count on this to make the film any better) and his supervisor and lawyer help him to lie to the legal system to say he wasn't drunk on that fatal day (to which he argues but then agrees)………. they also try to keep him off drinks. But alas, he does drugs (in front of his supervisor and lawyer….. WTF) and consumes alcohol like a maniac. At the trial, he lies (under oath) about his drinking problem, but after 2 minutes he confesses to his addiction. He is then sent to jail. And the movie is over!!!

How come the authorities don't know they have a drug and alcohol addict on their payroll? A total rip-off. The movie is so slow, it is unbearable. They could have easily removed 1 full hour and still noticed nothing missing. Watch at your own risk.
