I dont know if Christina Ricci is scraping the bottom of the barrel to keep her career alive but i do know she does seem to take on a lot of bad roles.

This film is probably only known by anyone because of her presence in the movie, as it itself is a disappointment. The idea of an occursed group known as the gathering, forever locked to watch the misery of all man kind as a punishment for watching the crucifiction of Christ in 'lust', is a very good idea i feel. One that could have been the basis for a very well done, and exceptionally clever film. However what we have here is a mediocre film that uses a good idea and a known starlette to sell itself to a crowd that might be fooled into thinking that the screenplay could do the idea justice.

So yes... mildly entertaining but disappointing. I hope Christina Ricci, a peach of an actress, will take on more challenging roles in films that are actually GOOD. If you want to see a good Christina Riccif film, i suggest Prozac Nation - or better yet.... find yourself a copy of The Addams Family, and its sequel Addams Family Values.
