I give it 2 stars only because some of the actors were okay. Terrible story, terrible effects. The direction was, apparently, nonexistent. There were so many ways this could have gone, unfortunately it went nowhere instead. The black friend was obnoxious, I'm not sure what the girl was there for. I am not even sure what the point of it all was. There was little action. The effects were cheap. It seems they wanted to appeal to a teen audience, but the teen characters were simply not appealing. I just... no. Omg. Don't watch it. Watch.the 3 episode miniseries instead. That one actually impressed me.
