Lowest Recommended Age:Middle School
MPAA Rating:Rated PG-13 for some frightening sequences.
Movie Release Date:2006
DVD Release Date:2006

There is no conventional rating scale that could do justice to this film. It is a terrible movie, but it is terrible in an interesting and often highly watchable way. There have been better films that I have enjoyed less. [...]

Movie Release Date:2006
