5/10
What do you dread?
11 January 2010
I dread stories that are not interpreted well into movies. This movie had potential, but the crazy guy was a flat character. He had trouble expressing the right emotions. Jackson Rathbone was great, the rest of the cast was great, but the movie fell flat due to a poorly acted main character. As a project for school, Jackson Rathbone's character is given the idea to set up a study to see what peoples worst experiences are and the inherent fear that comes from that. Many volunteers come for the study and sit in front of the camera to share their experiences. As this progresses, the main players in the movie do the same and we find that they have been had experiences that would make one have specific fears about things. As the study goes on, the guy who conceived the idea with Rathbones character starts to get stranger and this cases Rathbone to pull away from the project. If that character had been better portrayed, I might have liked this movie more. The girl with the birthmark was beautiful even with her birthmark btw.
