January 18, 2009I wanted to like this one but couldn't lower my I.Q. far enough to find any of this original or interesting.

July 22, 2008Pretty standard stuff in this one. The Woods isn't terrible, but it offers absolutely nothing new, either. Worth watching if you're a big Bruce Campbell fan, I suppose.
