He is one of those movies that you start looking for mistake, usually by making other things, and just as happened to me, then the story line, the skill of the actors, and the plot keep you glued to the screen for the whole movie. Her mild lonely and shy girl, struggling with the fear of people, this situation causes a bit 'of neurosis, he decided to accept the invitation of his sister who invited her to kick back a little, so travels to Paris. Paris and beautiful, Paris, especially for those who have not ever visited, for her and too chaotic, and the exuberant sister, tries in every way to make you feel at ease the not social sister. Accompanies her to a party a rave parties, "shock therapy," she calls it, makes known his friends, but the party is big and she does not feel at ease, she is different from her sister, fails to go also disagree with here guys kind to her, so he decided to leave the party ......... .what not easy if he wants to get out of it alive. Masterpiece This is the word I use for this film, but the film and call it trivial and too reductive, the authors Have brought on screen, daily life, the life of every day, where the normal is seen as different, where honest, quiet, respect and honor, are wrong, they are stupid, where to be normal, is "be wrong." The talented actress protagonist in this role, he manages to capture the audience from beginning to end, moment by moment, we will live her fears. Fears trivial. fears of every day, we will drag her in her decisions, decisions not hypocritical but rather honest, we'd all like to do; but hidden in the hypocrisy of a false and fake goods, we Do not ever admit. She will live with her his anxiety his anguish his anger, until the end where you will be overwhelmed by tears and anger. The film is realistic, right, it shows what the company is today: a society that does not tolerate the thought differently, those who prefer other, Why Be different and wrong, and who is different and deserves only contempt. Sorry for bad English

Why wouldn't she stop screaming? "It's a prank"? Worse premise than nightmare on elm street's waking from a dream in a dream in a dream...This was on a movie channel while I was doing other things - definitely 'walk-out' material if I'd gone to a theater.I don't understand why a short and succinct review has to be 10 lines.Why wouldn't she stop screaming?

A vacuous American teenager popping anti-depressants goes to Paris to stay with her sister. This sister (claimed to be a student at the Sorbonne) turns out to be equally vacuous, with added unpleasantness and stupidity. The thought that either girl would gain anything by staying in Paris is absurd. They spend their time shopping and talking like the 'guests' from Big Brother. They'd have done the same in Newark or Bolton.The blonde sister (the one from the Sorbonne) takes her dark sister (the depressing one) to a really groovy club called CATACOMBS - believe it or not, it's an illegal club set up by a young 'philosopher' who says fatuous things like 'Death is spectacle.' (He's no Sartre.) The club is situated in... wait for it... the actual catacombs under the Paris streets. Is that creepy and weird or not? Not.Anyway, the two girls meet some French boys and drink absinthe. They dance around with a crowd of other people. Before we know it, the dark, depressing girl is lost in the catacombs and is being chased by a mad axeman wearing a goat mask... She runs around in the catacombs for the rest of the film. We're supposed to be getting REALLY SCARED. I was looking forward to being terrified or at least mildly frightened - but nothing much happened except an increasing feeling of ennui.The dark girl's lines are of the 'f**k! s**t! help! oh God is anyone there?' variety. Eventually she meets a French man called Henri (like many American tourists she is unable to pronounce this and insists on calling him 'Henry' - as if he were Ray Liotta in 'Goodfellas'). 'Henry' helps her, but she simply ignores the fact that he can only speak French and she only English. She keeps asking him dumb questions in English and shows her gratitude to her rescuer by calling him 'asshole' and 'jerk' when things go wrong. Her intelligence really shows through when 'Henry' produces what a 5-year old can see is a street map of Paris. Our 'heroine' asks, 'What's that? Is it a map? IT'S A STREET MAP!' When 'Henry' suggests a way of walking through the catacombs to escape from the man with the goat mask, all the heroine can do is to complain,'Oh my God, it's so FAR!' Perhaps she thought she could phone for a cab instead - or get the subway.Hardly surprisingly, there are no 'stars' in this grand entertainment. It isn't horrific in the least. The ending is quite clever, but to sit through the preceding hour and half to get there is asking too much of anyone. If you want a stylish, witty, and genuinely disturbing film set in the sewers and underground railways of London, watch Gary Sherman's DEATHLINE from the early Seventies.This film was dead before anyone stepped foot in the catacombs. Less frightening than an international webcast by Lyndon Larouche - and nowhere nearly so funny...

Some 200 years ago, all of the cemeteries in Paris were filled to overflowing; the solution to this problem was to move the remains of 7,000,000 people to the empty underground tunnels on the outskirts of the city. Today, this massive bone repository is known as The Catacombs and is one of Paris' most unusual tourist attractions, and if you believe this dreadful piece of garbage from Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures, it is also the site of illegal raves!It is during one of these wild underground parties that moody, selfish cow Victoria (Shannyn Sossamon) stupidly gets herself lost in the catacombs' labyrinthine network of skull-lined passageways, and finds herself hunted by a savage killer wearing a goat's-head mask. Like we could give a damn.An unbelievable dull film given the atmospheric location and potentially scary set-up, Catacombs spends the majority of it 100 minutes following a scrawny, screaming Sossaman as she wanders aimlessly from tunnel to tunnel, rarely meeting anything more threatening than the odd bat or rat; on the few occasions that she does come face-to-goatmask with the film's killer, she simply screams a bit more and runs away. All of this is tedious in the extreme, and by the end of the film one is left with the impression that we've been shown every last damn inch of the catacombs' 185 miles of tunnels—no need to include that one on the itinerary next time I'm in Paris!To make matters even worse, the film also implies that all French people are either untrustworthy, dangerous or just plain evil, features irritating editing and a grungy aesthetic (like virtually all of Lionsgate's horrors), has the most pathetic twist ending imaginable, and co-stars crap pop-rocker Pink. Avoid.
