The killer was never caught. Fifteen years later, newly graduated structural engineer Sam Walczak (Mischa Barton of THE O.C.) arrives to prepare the site for demolition. But this massive concrete crypt is not entirely empty. Its halls are lined with secrets. Its rooms are filled with fear. And behind its walls, the ultimate horror has lay waiting...until now.

My Thoughts:
This is one I didn't know what to expect from it. Before I bought it in a pile of used DVDs last month I never even heard of it. I watched the trailer first and it looked like it would be a decent movie. And I guess I would say it is a decent movie... but far from a great movie. It starts out as one type of movie... but turns out to be another type... which in of itself is a little disappointing. I did like Mischa Barton in this one. You wouldn't have thought she would have made a convincing demolitions expert but she pulls it off quite well. The rest of the cast felt a bit wooden and forced. Also in my opinion the story needed a bit of polishing bringing it from a best selling book to a movie. It definitely had potential... it just didn't quite pull it off.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

North

Definitely a good episode... I enjoyed it. It was fun to see Ray out of his element. One thing that did bug me a little... either the wolf is deaf or he is not deaf. In this episode... if the wolf was deaf how would he come running by Fraser hollering out that they were leaving and were not coming back (beginning of the episode). But I shouldn't be surprised as they are always putting little things in there as if the wolf could hear. just not quite this blatant about it.

My Rating:
