Baluthar

Author:Chris Molloy Wischer
Genre:Horror
Released:2003
Review:

A specimen of the horror genre, which, however, rather will entertain you with good puzzles than send a chill down your spine. Very solid, careful implementation, yet it left me with the feeling that something was missing. It resembled an average albeit well-budgeted Hollywood movie: you'd never regret the time and money spent on it, but you hardly would remember it too long, much less go watch it a second time. I'm aware I'm getting pretty subjective, though.

Rating: ****
