Preview: The Abandoned (2007)


Poster: C

Review:

A simple poster with a blood-crying doll. We know from the preview that the characters are drawn into their childhood home where they were likely kept after being abducted. It's a horror film to boot. The poster fits but isn't terribly interesting all the same.

Trailer: C

Review:

When the After Dark Horrorfest came and went last year, it's relative lack of dominance at the box office proved one point. Horror films aren't commercially viable without the beautiful people to star. This film, labeled as the "Audience Favorite" has an intriguing premise, but reveals too much of the film to hope to gain an audience.

Oscar Prospects:

It's a horror film. Does that need any other explanation?

Release Date:

February 23, 2007

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
