Short Review

Wow! As this movie progressed, I thought, is every character an idiot (other than maybe the priest)? Every decision Taylor and Lamarr made was wrong and they believed everything they were told (despite the fact that the priest warned 'she will lie' right from the beginning). But ... I'd watch it again with the volume off just see Lamarr.
