When I didn't have the opportunity to see this film at last year's Chicago Film Festival, I was extremely disappointed. A huge David Lynch fan, I was extremely excited to see what his offspring could do. Unfortunately, in her second film (and first in 15 years), Lynch the younger doesn't seem to have any more talent than Eastwood the younger. A laughable plot (with a twist you better figure out in the first fifteen minutes) and ridiculously over-the-top performances round out this (at times) excruciatingly bad entry into the already weak modern horror/thriller arena.
