wanted: director requires brain for next film

Rating: 2/10 (28 January 2008)

major disappointment- been looking forward to this for months...
I didn't get what I asked for...
i thought i knew how this would play out- and bet u did too. from the trailer we expect scares, a silence of the lambs in the suburbs, with suspense, a bit of gore and lots of excitement.
but it doesn't happen.
Instead the story concentrates on a teen romance, which really slows the pace of the film. I cant believe three quarters of the film was spent on the chick with the nice ass, and 10 mins spent on the physco next door.
Several sequences seem to have been cut, so the second half action is all over the place, and is ridiculous and just not credible.
another major disappoint is that there is no scares. really. i read somewhere that the screenplay got an award, but im left wondering if the director followed it at all, cos' basically this film sucked. plus point: it did look nice...
it just isn't a thriller, its a romance.
