For a group of teens, the answer to the mysterious death of their old friend lies within the world of an online video game based on the true story of an ancient noblewoman known as the Blood Countess.
Rating:4/10 This movie is one of those that had to the potential to be pretty good. Not great, but good. The idea of the story was pretty good and a lot different than other horror movies. It even started off excellent. It sure as hell grabbed my attention. But then something happened. They killed off two people out of the core of six. The problem was, was that they killed off the only two interesting characters who actually had some depth to them. The other four, including the lead, were boring. The movie slowed down way too slow and the movie became tedious to watch. Towards the end, the movie got very stupid and it took away the tension from the movie. Frankie Muniz also seemed a bit uncomfortable with his role in the movie. It was just weird seeing him swearing a lot towards the end. The ending was appropriate though. It seemed like it was right though predictable. Not a movie worth seeing.
