It's one of those movies that had potential but somehow does not really uses it.
The storyline is your typical ingredients for a good psychological thriller/horror movie that constantly has you and the viewer questioning their mind. A man is sent to a deserted drill site in the Sahara desert, where a series of unexplained deaths have taken place. As soon as he arrives, a mysterious woman appears who claims to be the survivor of the scientific team, but who is she really ?
Already at the start the movie just rushes by without letting the atmosphere really do its' work. And as soon as the storyline really gets off, the film deteriorates into one big confusing mess. It just uses the same old "hallucinations within an hallucination within an hallucinations etc." formula over and over again ad tedium.
The female character barely adds anything to the storyline, she's just eye candy and the ending still doesn't explain anything about her.
Shame, because the movie did have some potential. Oh well, still better than Rob Zombie I guess.
