Tailgate

First of all I was very anxeous to see this movie. It was promoted to be one of the best Dutch movies to come out in a long time. However the movie is a big collection of cliches. Off course this is one of the basics of a horror/thriller but in this case it's just a little to much.

The characters have no real depth. The setting and acting aren't bad and it's nice to see some new faces in Dutch cinema instead of the regular actors you see in every Dutch movie. But it is noticable that they are trying to hard to act in a few scenes. Especially the thug. He's just a little bit to calm and correct to be scary.

The storyline is very thin. It would have been nice to have some background information why the bad guy does what he does. But even worse, the ending of the movie looks like they ran out of ideas.

It could have been a great movie. Now it's just one to watch and forget.
