There are many problems with this movie. The main two, in my view, are faults which we see all too often.
In runner up position is our old friend Unbelievable Behaviour. There are great swathes of this movie where you sit there going, "Get up!" "Run!" "Don't go in there!" and countless other variations. Maybe characters in horror movies have to behave unbelievably to some extent, but a little bit of credible behaviour from time to time does help. There is none to be found here - absolutely none.
But the biggest problem is Unsympathetic Protagonist. The character of Lisa is one of those characters written in such a way that everything she does grates on your nerves. She disbelieves, does things you wouldn't do, doesn't do things you would do, snivels constantly: in short, you spend most of the film wishing she'd been the first one to be killed, not the one to survive to the end.
It is, however, fairly glossily filmed.
