It was running down the walls and, well, probably more realistic than I'd seen before.Brian Garrettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208674285913301013.post-5956380374303500622011-12-18T14:14:44.960-05:002011-12-18T14:14:44.960-05:00I enjoyed the film, although I figured out the end...I enjoyed the film, although I figured out the ending a bit ahead of time.
