FORTUNE COOKIE PROPHECIES is another slow and uneventful indie horror film from Canada. The story has two couples holing up in a cabin in the woods, where they spend their time opening fortune cookies and discovering some macabre twists that fate has in store for them. There's a little mystery and some murderous scenes, but this is mainly a talky character drama which is never very interesting. The greyed out look makes it doubly depressing to sit through.

So far, this is playing like a combination of Final Destination and the Chinese Restaurant episode of Seinfeld (James Hong, the maitre d' from the Seinfeld episode, is in this movie!) Tragedy befalls a group who dined at a Chinese restaurant (incidentally, four of them are opening their own Chinese restaurant) when the fortunes in the fortune cookies they get have a devastating effect on their lives. It's fairly watchable, with stylized camera effects and mild gore, only I'm watching it on FUSE so there's a lot of commercial breaks.Funny thing is, it's been an hour and there's no sign whatsoever of the movie featured in the trailer or movie summary! Very odd.

Words cannot express how unbelievably awful this film was from the ridiculous Pro Life crap: Question 'Why did the ghost steal our tent? Answer:'because it want to experience what an aborted foetus does when left to die in the elements'To every further poor attempt to lean on films like the grudge/ the ring and Shutter. There is nothing positive i can say about this film apart from its running length as it could have been longerSo So So bad...... if only this Film had been aborted I think it would have been better for all concerned. I am a lover of Horror but this was embarrassment to the genre
