Are You Scared?

If you've seen Saw, then you are aware of the basic principles of the movie. A disturbed individual kidnaps a bunch of kids and claims they are apart of a game show. Little do they know, the only winnings will cost them their lives. This demented thriller seems to follow in its footsteps with a little twist; it sucks. Simply stated, the actors are terrible. The 'victims' took acting 101, but beyond that the rest of the crew needs to go back to their day job. Gore, blood, and fried carcass galore. Looking for some more twisted violence and you can look past the poor acting, then maybe you can sit through this nightmare. My advise is to pass and go see Saw III.

I've seen all the saw movies-meh. They early ones were good. This wasnt even as good as the bad saw movies. Poor acting and blah. Just watch saw.

Are You Scared is a cheap imitation of Saw. A madman kidnaps a bunch of teens who apply for a reality TV contest. Turns out the show is way too real for everyone as they all start dying in contests where there is no way to win and there is an audience of one. Everything moves pretty fast, which is nice when the effects and dialog are well below average. Lighting was terrible, camera work was fine, screen play was OK. Directing was marginal, and editing was good. Some twists at the end made it a little more interesting. One thing I noticed is that I didn't feel sorry for the characters when they died because they were all pretty annoying. Even the police and FBI characters didn't generate any real sympathy.

It is only getting one star because there isn't an option for a complete zero. I have seen better day time cartoons than this movie. Not only was the plot stolen from SAW, it almost seems as if you're watching the movie again but yet through the eyes of a 2 year old. Awful acting, poor script, VERY VERY BADLY DIRECTED, I really just don't know how to tell you to stay away from this movie other than please.. rather than waste your time watching this, just think of all the harm you could be doing to the ozone.. or maybe even go to your kids softball game, or just stick your finger down your throat and induce vomiting to get the effect of how you will feel after watching this movie knowing you will never be able to get this part of your life back forever. LOL

I give this movie a 10 out of 10 best comedy of the year! This movie is funny, a laughable tale of trial and triumph against all odds. A tale of a movie that wants to be saw, yet fails horribly, with some intense character development such as that one guy did that one thing, and that other person died. The characters in this film are unforgettable, just thinking of the chemistry between that blond guy and that other person brings a tear to my eye right now. Also, the plot twists are unforgettable, such as that one person died, I never would have called that! All around, this a wonderful movie that deserves the academy award for the best picture ever in the history of all things. Go and watch this riveting movie, better than Citizen Kane.
