The Return (2005)
3/10
Good premise, story anemic
27 February 2007
Seemed like there was supposed to be a good movie in here. I have no idea what kind of script changes this thing went through, but the bare bones concept was intriguing.

More and more it seems like these horror/thrillers are director's wet dreams, meaning that the story was buried under cool cinematography and vein director shots instead of narrative. The flashbacks were intriguing, perhaps because of the presents of Sam Shepard and the Mole in the ground song, but over all it was a seriously lacking movie.

People always wonder how these movie get made. Hollywood most likely doesn't buy a bad scripts, but the directors and dev. people ruin them along the way. This might be the case here.
