I searched just to make sure Leish didn't see this previously. This isn't part of the "8 Films to Die For" but it is reportedly "FearNET's first production." Done w\ Lion's Gate, Shannyn Sossamon, & Pink.

That last line ought to tell you the calibre of film this is. Shannyn & Pink are sisters. Pink's in Paris & invites her sister to an underground rave in the catacombs beneath the streets. Shannyn (the sister) is on an assload (not literally) of pills for anxiety or being a woman or something, they never really explain. There's also a story about the last surviving member of a pagan cult, the Antichrist (not the Antichrist), who stalks the passages & kills the unwary. Naturally, a small group of party-goers (all main cast members included) gets lost in the subterranean hallways.

I fast forwarded thru about 25-40% of this flick. Here's a quick example ... Shannyn & random French dude are walking on a rickety wooden bridge. Bridge gives way, French dude falls, compound fractures in both legs. There's three or four separate attempts (at about 30-45 seconds each) where she attempts to help him up but fails miserably. There's a five minute shopping montage. In a "horror" flick, I shit you not. Cos they can't just go to one store & buy things. It's so critical to the plot, they needed to hit up half a dozen stores just to head to another. Seriously, half this flick is filler bullshit. The other half is Shannyn blindly wandering around in the near dark. Depending upon how slowly they need to move the action in the scene, her IQ alternates between freshman sorority hopeful at her first kegger & your average girl scout who'd just finished huffing gasoline for several hours after a few Mike Tyson uppercuts.

I've seen movies in biology class that had more death than this piece of shit.

Every now & again, they don't suck. The mainstream ones have worse suckage ratios.

Whoa. My brain had completely forgotten it had been subjected to the awfulness of this movie. Still just as bad, if not worse.

I'd say that's about right the second time around.
