It's no surprise that this remake of the 1958 schlocker fatally overdoses on bloody body parts and CGI effects. What's disappointing is how completely it wastes an almost A-list cast. While Taye Diggs and Peter Gallagher wander around looking for something, anything to do - Geoffrey Rush (taking on the Vincent Price role as the diabolical host) devours scenery with little apparent relish. Price had more fun four decades ago. So did the audience.
