Lack of atmosphere, no sense of dread or danger, no tension, shallow characters, and over explanation... also, being boring.

Why does a lot of people hate Keanu Reeves? :lol:

I mean, I got nothing against him, but I don't see why people say, "Keanu Reeves killed it for me" and whatnot.

A horror movie is bad if it's directed by Ulli Lommel.
