Alicia I love this movie so much

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

hannoverfisk I totally disagree with the other user comment that totally disagreed with everyone else. Besides the BAD acting, and the BAD directing (for cinematic effects, it would slow-mo the drama... a lot), this movie at it's end just made no sense.I have to say that you know it's bad within the first five minutes, but the majority of the criticism I can give comes having seen the ending, waiting to "tie loose ends up." So the majority of my critique will be listed under SPOILER! I will give Kudos for the fact that the movie keeps you guessing as a whodunit. Unfortunately, the end result is cockamamie.AS WELL, I thought C. Thomas Howell's character, though over the top, was actually quite entertaining. For just a few minutes, I was entertained.So onto the Spoiler... the culprit was someone who at no point in the movie even seems capable of being the killer. He never shows signs of oddness or mental illness at any time. Nor does he seem capable of having the necessary knowledge of cuneiform. The two people with star power have a total of 10 minutes of film time between them. There is no explanation of why there is a priest FBI guy on the scene, and he just appears in and out of the film inexplicably. The police department is completely shoddy and crooked and shields their detectives from investigation BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS! vilifying the process of internal affairs investigations.There's even a secret tunnel into the church where the murderer goes in and out of, and when the police find it, they never post anyone to watch it. The priest hides the secret of the tunnel, because he doesn't feel it's important. Huh? What the hell? Bad writing, bad acting (I think with a better director, the actors could have performed better), and definitely bad direction. And of course a requisite sex scene that does nothing to further character or plot, simply because it's a B horror movie.IF YOU WANT TO SEE AN EXCELLENT AND UNDERRATED B HORROR FILM: try Close Your Eyes with Goran Visnjic from ER and Shirley Henderson (Moaning Myrtle).I KNEW I should have avoided this film, but I was in the mood for cheesy horror, but I got just cheesy.

movieman_kev Slight off-balance police inspector Palmer (Alison Eastwood) works with Father Brian (Judd Nelson) to solve for a religion-based killer, while she deals with her teen-aged goth sister. Huge plot holes, faulty logic, an un-likable 'heroin' and the fact that the movie just trudges on make this crime thriller awful.It's one of those direct to video flicks that you'd likely find early in the morning on cable, but even if you do stumble across it don't bother watching.My Grade: D- Eye Candy: Alison Eastwood gets topless, Andrea Runge gets full frontal (yea she's dead at the time, but what ya gonna do,ya know?)

rickblain20 This film was recommended to me at the video store. I did not expect the film to be this good. I found the story to be very compelling, the acting was good. I read that the lead, Allson Eastwood, is Clint's daughter, you can see the resemblance.The snow scenes give the film a very creepy element, which adds to the mood.The violence is not over the top, which most thrillers seem to attempt.They spent some money on the look of the film. And there is a neat little twist at the end.I would recommend the film.Rick

ofjeworstlust Oh no. Just don't think of renting/seeing/buying this one. Rip-offs from many movies with the same storyline. Bad acting - if you've seen this one think of THE interrogation scene. No one buys that one. Or the teenage daughter that is wild and changes into a daughter anyone would like to have, yeah right. The story line? So stupid I couldn't believe it and my wife stopped watching half way. Reasonable decors, lighting and effects. But OMG, the end is so predictable and the 'who' and 'why' won't bother anyone. This already is too much for comments on this so called movie. Some supernatural effect are brought into the story, but they aren't explained or worked out thoroughly.
