Cold Creek Manor 2003
Ugh.
Slow paced, slow witted. Poorly written. The most interesting character was the bad guy (Stephen Dorff) and he was as cookie-cutter as the rest.
What happened to Dennis Quaid? I'll tell you. He recognized early on that this movie was a dud. His performance throughout ranges from sleepwalking to hysterical over-acting.
Sharon Stone has an excuse. She's not often accused of being a good actress or choosing good movies (though The Quick and the Dead is one of my all time favorites).
It's not that the story has plot-holes. It probably does but the fact that it's so mind-numbingly boring makes that irrelevant.
And that's really the Cardinal Sin of a movie, no? A movie can be bad, yet entertaining (Plan 9 From Outer Space). A movie can be offensive to the point you don't want to watch it, but still well done. A movie can be insulting in it's blatant propaganda, but still maintain interest and create discussion.
This movie is just boring.
