Suspense killed by violence

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2016)

Well, the story-line is brilliant, and that is half the work done on this horror/slash/thriller type of film. I was told it was less predictable than most. That's right, but it does not take a surprising turn like The Others does, or The Village. Just compared to Hammer House Horror maybe. It's a mix of horror and psychopath violence, and it tries to satisfy all audiences, except the ones who like a joke now and then. Too much bashing and thrashing to my mind, we would all be dead after one blow. And therein lies my objection to this otherwise well made movie: I need to believe it could be true, and I do not. Not after all those knives,pistols,garden tools and what-not. Less would have been be more, to my mind. The producer should have trusted the script more, and the acting, instead of relying on all that violence.
