  • Something odd is going on

    The only possible value to this movie is the couple of laughs you'll have at its taking itself seriously, and you have to wait until the end for those. There is nothing else to it, but gore for the sake of gore. The story is as old as stories, themsrlves, and this movie CRAWLS. How it got funding will be the subject of lawsuits. (I'm laughing as I write that comment, but I honestly would not be surprised.)

    I've got 200 required characters to write. What to say .... It's loud as hell, at times, and for too long (seriously, it's uncomfortable, at least, in a Dolby theater, it is). 30 characters to go .... Do not pay for this movie!

  • Ain't what it used to be

    Fantastic program when Howard Kurtz was still there. Absolutely farcical, since.

  • For the more discerning mind, perhaps

    My buddy and I got fooled by review-scores. This is a GUARANTEED future MST3K target. What are reviewers thinking? I know good horror is hard to come by these days, but good grief. This thing was awful. They would have been much better off abandoning ship, even after completion, and reshooting some scene-tweaks in order to spoof the genre. They could have ended up with something great, in fact, because the acting is quite good, considering a poor script and even poorer plot. I'm in my mid fifties; I can't think of any age at which I would have enjoyed this movie. The theater was largely full, and there were a couple twenty-year-old guys next to us who were busting up, early on, which is exactly what I wanted to do, but like the rest of us, resigned themselves to silence out of respect for those who were holding out hope for this dog.

    Do yourself a favor--figure it for a spoof, and let yourself laugh out loud at it. Your enjoyment of it will be greatly enhanced.
