Definitely the 1989 TV adaptation is superior than this film, particularly plotting the story, characterization & even in terms of spook-elements. But this is a decent effort though. I haven't seen any Harry Potter film yet, so this is my first Daniel Radcliffe film and as a regular movie viewer I'm slight disappointed from his performance. There was sophistication for the role but throughout the film there's only 1 or 2 kind of expression (& sometimes even wooden!) I saw in his face which I think could be done with more varied approach.
But was it as good as Grave Encounters? :P

Doghouse: Group of lads go on a weekend away, only to end up in a town where all the women have been infected by a virus and have killed off the men, zombie style.... Was kinda wary of watching this, mostly due to the fact it had Danny Dyer in it, which is usually the hallmark of a shitty film. Gotta be honest though, I found it pretty entertaining. Its over the top, and cheesy and it borrows alot from Shaun of the Dead. While its not a horror comedy in the same league as something like Shaun, its a decent film, easy to watch and worth checking out.

If you are a fan of CG-laden effects and visuals, an average time-waster. Some decent sequences and an unexpectedly short climax and the movie is over before you can say "cheese."

It's appalling to see Nicholas Cage go lower from the low rung he is already in. And he looks old, real old, for Johnny Blaze.

Nothing else to write about much - convoluted plotline, uninspiring direction and some really tacky characterisations and acting. Only redeeming feature is the effects.

If effects/visuals are not your cup of tea, avoid this.

Yeah the dog was great and the more i think about it the more i liked it. It really felt like i was watching an older movie instead of a recent one.
