Unfortunately, the original ideas they are coming up with are even worse than the remake crap.]]> Sat, 05 May 2012 12:06:35 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=507&PID=50858#50858 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=507&PID=50839#50839 Author: Vits

I re-watched it.

I did a research to see the differences between this and the original. I think the plot changes were for the better. I prefer a repetitive movie than an inconsistent one.

Camilla Belle gave one of the worst performances I've ever seen. It was like the director run into someone he knew who wasn't an actress and said "Would you like to be in my movie? I'll teach you how to act on set".

I know I said I didn't like the ending. That's because final scares tend to feel like a cheat. But after analyzing, it's the best ending that can come from the plot. Not to mention that it was one of the very very few scary moments (the rest were jump scares and teasing). Another scary moment was the beginning, which was excellent. No, really. It was everything the beginning of a Horror Movie should be.

I give it 4/10.

I think he means the last scene. The climax, on the other hand, delivered and it ran 20 minutes.

If you dislike the movie, then it's not "alright".]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:05:26 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=507&PID=31836#31836 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=507&PID=31828#31828 Author: Vits

A splatter film or gore film is a type of horror film that deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and graphic violence. These films, through the use of special effects and excessive blood and guts, tend to display an overt interest in the vulnerability of the human body and the theatricality of its mutilation. Due to their willingness to portray images society might consider shocking, splatter films share some ideological grounds with the transgressive art movement. The term "splatter cinema" was coined by George Romero to describe his film Dawn of the Dead, though it should be noted that Dawn of the Dead is generally considered by critics to have higher aspirations, such as social commentary, than to be simply exploitative for its own sake.

The combination of graphic violence and sexually suggestive imagery in some films has been labeled "torture porn" or "gorno" By contrast, in films such as Braindead, the the gore is sometimes so excessive that it becomes a comedic device.
