Well, I never made it to Family Video last night after
dinner and was stuck with my pay channels and on Demand for a movie. Needless
to say, I was not optimistic, as nothing truly caught my eye on Friday. What
did I choose? The 2005 supernatural entry Intermedio.
Plot/ A group of four teenage friends become trapped in a
Mexican border tunnel where they fall prey, one-by one, to tortured ghosts who
haunt it.
I had a bad feeling about this one when I selected it
from The Movie Channel on Demand, and that feeling was right on the money. This
low budget entry from The Asylum really offered nothing but cliché and bad CGI.
Honestly, it was a perfect entry for the SyFy Channel and their cheesefests.
This is actually unfortunate, as there was potential there for some great atmosphere
if done right. Unfortunately, the sets look like a bad amusement park ride, the
acting is uneven at best and the scripting does nothing to build tension. In the end, there is some blood and it had a
few moments, but this is what it is; a cheesy low budget B movie targeted at
the SyFy Channel crowd, and if you like that you should enjoy this one. If that
is not your cup of tea, stay away.
