The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's been awhile since I've seen this, but it was a real psychological thriller. The kind that makes one stop & consider what this movie was really trying to get across to the audience. While it's not the best of horror movies, it's certainly far from the worst. It stayed with me, often playing through my mind even a few weeks later. If you like horror movies that concentrate more on messing with your mind than cheap jump-out-at-you type scares & gore, I think you'll enjoy this one!

Plagued by disturbing premonitions, "Jake Gray" (Jensen Ackles) doesn't understand their meaning or what to do about them. He also has two friends, "Dakota" (Dominique Swain) and "Conrad Dean" (Teach Grant) who appear to have even worse problems than him. But when Conrad enrolls Jake into an internet program called "the Pathway" things begin to get truly bizarre. Suddenly both he and his two friends begin to get telephone calls advising them about their circumstances and telling them what to do. At any rate, rather than divulge any future surprises that may be in store for the person who hasn't seen this film, I will refrain from telling any more of the story. But I will say that this movie has some clever twists in it. Especially at the end. Now, I don't know how much money was spent to produce this movie but it has the feel of a low-budget production. The special effects, especially on the part of Satan, weren't that good and the character development on the part of Dakota could have been better as well. Be that as it may, the director (David Winkler) did a pretty good job with what he had as this is a fairly decent horror-mystery picture. Jensen Ackles performed rather well as did Dominique Swain, Teach Grant and Shannyn Sossamon (as Jakes' girlfriend "Marisol"). That said, while this might not be a "great" horror film, it isn't necessarily a "bad" horror film either. And although I was a bit disappointed with the ending, it seemed to fit in somehow. All in all, it was worth 90 minutes to see.

A young man(Jensen Ackles), with a very promising future, finds that his violent dreams are becoming frightening real when an Internet game, called The Pathway, introduced to him by his troubled pal Conrad(Teach Grant)might by controlled by Satan himself! What's even worse is the fact that his "waking" nightmares are used in killing his friends and family. He seeks comfort in the arms of beautiful nurse Marisol(Shannyn Sossamon)who attends to his crippled wheelchair ridden mother. Dakota(the very, very sexy Dominique Swain)is Jake's friend/sometimes-lover who was a product of molestation and now receives visits from her professor so that she can pass. Aiden Kater(Martin Cummins)is the creator of The Pathway game, who practiced black magic in Satanism. Ivan(William Sadler) is the Master Satanist who quit teaching others when Aiden supposedly sacrificed his wife and child to the Devil. Jake has a deeper connection to Ivan than he realizes. There's reason why he has survived while others, such as his two friends, succumbed to suicide after killing those who caused them harm in life.I felt the development of the premise and it's characters feel rushed. I felt like there was some post-production tinkering which leaves plot holes and inconsistencies. Such as what happens to Dakota. While we actually do see what occurs to Conrad from the phone call that coerces him through emotional manipulation into murdering a person he had issues with, we might not see his death take place, but do get a glimpse of the horrifying "suicide." But, Dakota's exit from the film isn't fully realized and all we really know is that she murdered the man troubling her finishing herself off through self-mutilation. It's a scene totally left out of the film and is quite an important part of the development of the story. Anyway, later Jake is knocked unconscious by Conrad's ghost(?)and he awakens in Aiden's plush mansion. I can't understand this, but oh well. Aiden is here to inform us who Jake really is. Instead of developing Aiden, he's plopped in the flick for a few minutes and dispatched. Ivan's wife, Anne, is a major part of the grand scheme of things and we see who she has been emulating so to stay close to Jake. The final thirty or so minutes really rushes a build up during the film. Someone calls Jake's Uncle Ross on the phone. We do not know who it was. It would've been nice to know. He later is found by Jake and Marisol. And, then the film makes a bold statement that what we have witnessed, including the revealing of the Demon behind the Pathway possessions, could be just figments of Jake's demented mind. He asks for us to help him. The director and screenplay writer are the ones who needed help the most. Oh, and I do admit that Swain is an absolute sexpot, but perhaps she could try other roles that just the slut. She's become quite typecast.

OK i watched this movie with my boyfriend and we enjoyed it enormously. The special effects on the demon on the end weren't great but it still got the job done and you got the general idea that it was meant to be a evil creature, so that was good. One main thing i can say about the movie is when Jensen Ackles was reading through the script one thing that passed his mind could of been "Man, I'm going to get laid!" I think the whole storyline was confusing and especially the quote at the end from Jake "...Our child.." it had me confused. I think the actors and actresses did a great job on their characters, and Jensen Ackles shows a lot of promise. We noticed that in a few scenes he wears his brown leather jacket he wore in Supernatural and also Jake's uncles house is the place in Dead In The Water Episode 3. I really enjoyed this movie and walked away from it thinking "Dude, Jensen is hot!"
