Peter Nicholson’s low-budget horror-thriller starts better than it ends. As two young hikers (Gemma-Leah Devereux, Rebecca Night) are led off the beaten track by a hunky guide (Callum Blue), the first act’s every set-up benefits from the screen-filling backdrops of the eponymous moors.

Hollywood might be excited about 3-D technology, but as ballyhooed as the DreamWorks/Pepsi 3-D Super Bowl pod was before the game, advertising creative directors were unimpressed by the prospect of more eye-popping visuals in commercials.
While Pepsi provided 125 million free 3-D glasses produced by Intel -- whose InTru technology powers next month's DreamWorks Animation release "Monsters vs. Aliens" -- a random sampling of Super Bowl viewers in the advertising business found that few bothered to pick up the glasses, and those who did were not all that impressed with the SoBe Lifewater spot that featured football players and the SoBe lizards doing their version of "Swan Lake."
"I actually know one person who got them, and she was very disappointed," one creative director said.
Most felt that the SoBe commercial, which also cross-promoted DreamWorks' film with the inclusion of movie characters in the dance, was a strong marketing tool...
