The Gathering
DVD Review: The Gathering
You first wonder how Christina Ricci signed on for this. Does someone have some photos of her using them as blackmail or something? But to get back at her the people bribing her, she decides to act as well as Kathy Ireland in Necessary Roughness.
Then there is the far fetched idea that Christina Ricci gets hit by a car (but is unharmed) and then immediately becomes friends with the woman that hit her. I haven yet to be hit by a moving automobile but chances are, me and the guy behind the wheel ain’t sharing any brew hahas anytime soon.
The story has some bit of interest as it touches on some religious lore concerning the people that were present at the time of the death of Jesus Christ but like so many “horror” (I put these in quotes because the movie wasn’t all that scary at all) movies, it takes too long to get going and is altogether too short.
In the end, it’s just frustrating to see so much effort go into a film (you can just tell that it cost a lot of money to produce) that ends up leaving you so empty that you just want to throw things at the end of the movie.
Stay tuned for updates.
