"THE FAMOUS FIVE" in Famous Three version!

Rating: 2/10 (8 April 2009)

LOL! A big laugh was what came out of my mouth when I saw the IMDb general users' rate to this movie (7/10), after watching it. How can a "FAMOUS FIVE" type of movie like this have such rate? In fact watching this I felt like watching a "THE FAMOUS FIVE" episode but with the difference that this one tries to be a real suspense movie! Well, it tries, but of course it fails, because everything looks so pathetic in this film! First, those "kids" are too old to play the "FAMOUS FIVE" kind of adventures (spying a psycho killer in the neighbourhood! What idea could be more childish and "FAMOUS FIVE" type than this??). Second, what kind of psycho killer tries to kill his victims in his home, at night, with the windows open, the lights open, and near the windows??! (I'm still thinking why he didn't come to the window and shout out loud: "Hey neighbours! I'm killing someone, don't you want to see it??!). Hummm, thinking better I guess I found a kind of psycho killer that could do a thing like that: the psycho killer from a film like "SCARY MOVIE"!!! Third, everything else looks so clichéd and boring: the predictable "romance" between the main characters; the figure of the psycho guy, so stereotyped and close to the figure of a "bad guy"(!); his house (he also has the clichéd type of house that looks so small outside but it's so biiiiiiig inside and full of slashing rooms!); the pseudo-suspenseful scenes like that one in the basement when the main character was surrounded by floating bodies! Oh, so scary! Oh, so suspenseful! Why didn't anyone told me before it was a teenage movie trying to be a pseudo-suspenseful movie?! I wouldn't have spent two hours of my time with it!
