The Abandoned (2006). A suprnatural horror flick with an amazing score and lots of disturbing imagery, but little more. Many people really seamed to have loved this one, and i could see why. My main disappointemnt was that this flick could have been so much more. First, we have rare a mid-forties lead actress in a horror film. There were so many ways that her character could have been developed, but instead she remains flat, leaving the viewer without any empathic ties. The story itself was also fresh. But instead of developing it with actual storytelling, this film falls back on disturbing imagery and again that wonderful score. While it is definitely worth a watch, so much more could have done to make this decent flick a great one. Ashe.
