    Okay effects, generic characters, gruesome deaths. Nothing out of the ordinary from this film apart from the fact it is quite enjoyable.

    Is it worth watching? Under the right circumstances, of course it is. It is the kind of movie that can provide a good ... read moretime (at the movie's expense), assuming you are with the right person or people and in the right mood.
