A bunch of perfect 10's?! Come on!
Kaley Cuoco is literally the only good thing in this movie, and they totally underutilize her character. You're thinking, A-list actress in a horror movie, was she only on set a couple days? Nope, she appears "frightened" throughout the entire final act. Anyway, when she was in-character as the spoiled actress, I could listen to her potty mouth all day!
Killer Movie itself is much less a horror movie, more a reality show mired in a murder mystery. Sound enticing? You're right, it's not. Actually, I knew I was in trouble when I watched one dreadful trailer after another on this disc, and NONE of them were for horror movies. There are a handful of horror tropes in this film, anyway. There's a shower scene. The catch? It's a guy! And they break out the freaking bear trap. The slasher is masked. Ooh, who is it? I guessed one of the big "twists" about 15 minutes in.
Ice hockey plays a role in this movie, and I'm convinced the makers of this film know nothing about it. You don't practice with the coach playing street hockey in a gymnasium. You lace up the skates. AND this is supposed to take place in a cold climate!
Horrible soundtrack. I did not know corporate punk was alive and well in 2008. I could be wrong, I don't remember things like this. Also, how is half the content on this Blu-ray (from 2008) letterboxed? That's just unacceptable. The extras are a complete waste of time. The Behind the Scenes featurette is 13 minutes devoted to rump kissing.
I'm giving this an extra star for Kaley being the only interesting character in this mess, and ONE surprisingly great use of split-screen. Thanks Brian De Palma!
