On her first trip to Paris, a sexy young woman (Shannyn Sossamon... Lady Jocelyn in A Knight's Tale) hits a party in the catacombs, the 200-mile labyrinth of limestone tunnels under the city that's lined with the remains of 7 million people. After she gets separated from her friends, she realizes that someone or something is chasing her.This is a FearNet (my favorite channel) premiere this month of an Italian thriller that frankly I didn't expect much of... but it was actually OK. Cliche' filled but it was fast paced at least and had a decent twist at the end. A couple of stupid things happened that didn't make much sense, but overall it was entertaining. Not a lot of violence really or blood, but a few shocks-scares. I think the setting was pretty sweet and some of the scenes running through the catacombs with limited light were well-done. The idea of being stuck in an underground labyrinth of tunnels with a dying flashlight, running from who-knows-what is a scary thought in itself.
I always wondered what happend to Sossamon, who I thought was super-hot in A Knight's Tale. She doesn't look near as hot here, sort of a coked-out model/waif thing she's got going but still a beautiful face. Her character annoyed me a bit, as did her sister in the movie (played by Pink) and her creepy friends. I think a better cast overall could have helped this film a lot as I never really cared for anyone in it.
But as it is, it's worth a watch for a few jumps and some fun... probably nothing I'd want to watch again. Better than I expected though.
5/10
