Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

No sense plus no sense equals no sense

You've played the game with the lack of flowing story, now watch the movie. What the movie and game were lacking were pages. So, a girl is tormented by others, called a witch, persecuted and "cleansed" by fire. She miraculously survived, but had a powerful hate that extended beyond her completely incinerated body.

So, a gong sounds the onset of the hellish dreams broght onto the people of the town. Well, here's where the story is glueless (not sticking together). What is the gong? Why are there phases between the three realities? Why is there a doppleganger outside of the state with an adoptive family? I stop here, because the questions could go on forever.

The sound was good, as I liked the really eerie music and sounds from the game. A few of the images were interesting. Overall, this post-it note story ranks as stink. There was one writer with many partial ideas, none of which were realated to the others. That didn't stop the writer from putting them end to end yielding nothing, but confusion.

Confused? You won't be after the next episode of Soap. Well, I think that the creator might call it quits on the movie (s) that he could put together.

Without a doubt, avoid this movie, though it really inspired none to see it. It doesn't get any stars. It doesn't get any numbers from me. I could have awarded something had it ever finished, but an ending was lacking. The father thrown in for "good measure" was a sub-plot that should have been removed. His role was only in "investigating the past", which was summarized at the end by the girl.

The 50's film recap of life for the girl -- interesting had it been in another movie, but not this one. Good idea, bad placement.
