The first 20 minutes of WASC are incredibly suspenseful, even if the surprise factor is gone and the final 15 minutes are good as well. The biggest problem is how to fill out the rest of the story and focusing everything on Duncan just takes the wind out of the films sails. He really isn't interesting enough for Us to care what happens to him. The story may have worked better in an Anthology film, maybe about Urban Legends , which the plot line certainly is. **1/2
