It's a remake of something that wasn't that good to begin with -- But is it a RAZZIE® Contender?? http://66.102.142.54/razzies/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20&PN=1 - JOIN THE DISCUSSION ...

It's not a horror movie, it's a slasher. With pretty girls running around scared and the young guy running around with his shirt off. ------------- "Woody Allen, whatever his failings, does not make movies for morons. Most directors do.

Wow, this is only the second comment for this. The good: Rachel Nichols: She's hot and the only actual scare happens during her scene. Melissa George: She's, also, hot and performance is good. The bad: Jesse James: James is annoying as George's son and Ryan Reynolds' step-son. He has a perpetual stick up his ass and you'll just wanna throttle him. Jimmy Bennett: This bastard again. Before he annoyed me in Orphan and Poseidon and Vits in No Ordinary Family, he starred in this as James' brother. The ugly: The jump-scares: One of the cheapest tricks a horror movie can pull is a jump-scare. The Amityville Horror runs almost exclusively runs on jump-scares. All of the Platinum Dunes movies rely on them. Ryan Reynolds: Ryan Renolds in a horror movie is a bad idea. Remember Blade: Trinity? While it's not as bad a bet as Reynolds in a comic book movie (Green Lantern, Wolverine, the aforemented Blade: Trinity) his acting in this is terrible. He hampers his performance from the start by playing him as a sociapath at the beginning of the movie. This makes his transformation into a killer less shocking. As crappy as this movie was, it was better than the original.

SchumacherH8ter, I think you forgot that Jimmy Bennett was also in Evan Almighty and Shorts. Only the third comment for this, good lord! ------------- "If you can't make it good, make it 3D!" Peter Travers, Rolling Stone F**k Yeah/WTF Were They Thinking Awards Results Live-Tweet @jesse685 |
