I went in with low expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. It is a silly action/horror movie, but it is entertaining, due mostly to the fact that it does not take itself seriously. Visually-speaking, it is a well done film. There is a good dose of humor here, and the actors all did their job well. Not my type of movie, but it was entertaining while it lasted.
