This would have been scary if I was 12!!!

Rating: 2/10 (21 April 2007)

Holy crap. I saw the TV spots of this movie and thought it looked like it would be good. That is of course, because the spot contained mostly shots of the sexy neighbor girl, scary killer guy, and Shia "Disney Channel" Lebeof looking out his window and very alarmed. So, I went to the movie and, much to my surprise and chagrin, IT IS A TEEN ROMANCE IN DISGUISE!!! I am not much of a fan romances, and certainly not teen romance, so you can imagine my anger upon discovering this. The movie is either a teen-romance with a "horror" subplot or a horror movie with a teen-romance subplot, I couldn't tell. The plot structure was terrible, the dialogue equally so, and the scary parts mostly consisted of cliché see-scary-guy-in-the-window-with-lightning-flashes and scary-guy-shows-up-behind-you-in-a-tense-moment, among others. In short, this movie is not a scary horror film, unless of course mommy and daddy will only let you see PG-13 films.
