Actually, not bad for a Sci-Fi channel movie.
Essentially, it's 1857, and a small town in Pennsylvania is beset by a plague, and makes a Faustian bargain with the town's magi to cure it. They all get to live forever, but they have to sacrifice one of their number every year to a bad CGI ogre and can never leave the town, lest they disintegrate. They never get cable.
Oddly, no one ever finds this town for 150 years, until four college kids find it. Two wander into town while two others release the Ogre early. Well, the Ogre goes on a rampage, and hilarity ensues.
But this is a little better than most of the 100 similar movies that Skiffy buys from the Direct to DVD discard bin. The performances are okay, and it's better than the usual "dead teenager" horror movie.
The weakest element is the ogre itself. It looks like it was made by some Warcraft Nerd on his computer.
