Thanks to this movie, i will now be taking a break from movies of this CC (crap calibre).

Unlike most of my adventures finding a crappy horror movie, i didn't rent this 'movie' because i was attracted by the sleek graphics on the cover, and i sure as heck didn't buy it because of the innovative title. Actually to this day i am still wondering why, why, why God, why?!

Concerning the storyline - this has to be one of the most shallow movies i have ever seen, and i'm not talking about end at the swimming pool shalllow, i'm talking about that drip in the bottom of your coffee/tea mug that you can never get out.

On with my review: The movie starts by introducing the main character as a young boy in bed at night, he is scared because of something - the boogeyman i presume, or CGI-man as i like to call him. Anyway his dad comes in to calm him, and reassure him that 'there is no such thing as the boogeyman'-yes he really says that line. Then he get's pulled into his son's closet by some wind or something. The movie then skips 15 years to him as a mid-twenty year old man. He is fairly successful as i understand - he has a hot girlfriend and a hot car. The only thing that isn't hot is the fact that he manages to find everything scary. I mean everything. I thought it would just be closets - logically as his dad was took into one by CGI-man 15 years ago, but it's everything. Every 10 seconds he suddenly stops walking and turns to stare at a random object with a worried, but confused look upon his face, like he's a little scared but at the same time wondering if he has left his macaroni burning on the stove. It's quite amusing at first, but after around 100 times it becomes a little irritating.

The scariest moment in the movie is when he is driving his car and a bird flies into the window. The best and funniest part is straight after the bird incident, when he stops his car, gets out and just stands there to stare at the road looking quite upset and moved by the bird's death?!

Then his mother dies so he decides to do what anyone would do who is scared of everything - he goes to stay at his childhood house - where his father died/got pulled into a closet. He then meets a childhood friend who is randomly in need of some ice, they then talk about his mothers death, where she says 'sorry about your mom', he responds with 'me too', and she replies with 'how about that ice then?', sweet girl!

Toward the end of the movie the guy is obviously under the illusion he is in 'narnia' and proceeds to walk through the back of the closet in his old house into a hotel room a few miles away? Then his girlfriend disappears, and then his uncle, so he just presumes the boogeyman took them...well what other possible explanation could there be? - well plenty actually - maybe taking the dog for a walk or trying to find the movie director so they can persuade him that it is a lame movie and they should stop filming now.

The ending is not a firework spectacular finale, but then again i didn't expect one after watching 90 minutes of monkey poo. He goes to some house abandoned house and sits on a chair (where some other dude before him attempted to face the boogeyman, but he got to scared and died). He then confronts the boogeyman and he tells him he is not scared of him, there are a few gusts of wind, then the boogeyman dies. The end! You can watch it if you wish, but i suggest you spend 89 minutes trying to find the boogey/CGIman in places such as: your closet/under your bed or on you N64 where similar graphics are displayed.

Feel free to check out my other horror flick reviews. Peace out.
