The Pitch  The Humans  Tyler Oliver (director), Carly Schroeder,
Cody Linley and Brie Gabrielle  The Nutshell Another movie based
on a childhood saying or board game or superstition.  It reeks
of amateur talent both in from of and behind the lense, but
winds up making something that almost works.  The Lowdown  I’m
not going to try to sugar coat it.  The beginning of this movie
is horrible.  It’s a horror film that tries to build an ensemble
cast into a group of characters that we are meant to care about.
 This is normally a good thing to do as long as the characters
are likable but these ones aren’t.  It may have been better to
build a core set of characters and use some of the others more
as a definition of the core. The movie spends a good 10 minutes
of screen time on a side plot that is completely thrown out with
the second death.  I understand the director wanted to make us
care about
