• So rarely would I be let down by movies I had no hopes of, yet the Return managed just that. I only heard that it had a rather silly premise but still wanted to see it just because of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I know her Buffy years are over, I know her career is in a rather steep decline and she wasn't much of a good actor to begin with; but still. And still I was disappointed. They managed to create characters that there is no way you can relate to. You are not informed in the beginning enough to care about them. Yes, something has happened to SMG when she was small and yes she is haunted by it, but the mystery is never enough to draw you in. You just watch the movie, kept awake by the few scares it offers and then get the revelation in the end, which is not very interesting at all. The rest is her just trying to look scared and/or mystified. I am not going give away the twist at the end, because I am not sure if you can call it a twist. But I can say it is illogical(duh, supernatural), uninteresting and uninspired.
