Worst Johnny Depp movie by far

Rating: 2/10 (27 August 2012)

Now, I don't know the original series from Adam, but if it was anything like this steaming pile then I doubt it would ever have warranted enough of an interest to make it into a film.
For me it was a mix between a dark horror that never really scared and a comedy that never really made me laugh.
Yes there were deaths and blood but that by itself doesn't make something truly scary, and yes there were one liners that were clearly meant to be lighter moments but without timing or delivery they all fell rather flat.
This is a classic example of all the right individual elements never quite making a whole lot of anything.
I don't mean to say that I was unimpressed with it, I just mean that if it wasn't a treat for my girlfriend on her birthday I would have walked out of the cinema even before the credits finished rolling.
Lame, lame, lame, and anyone who gives this film more than half marks is either blindly in love with one of its stars or knows a member of the production crew and feels obligated to try and promote it even though they know deep down that it's a lemon and should have been a 'straight-to-DVD-movie'.
