What film has everyone been going to see? I don't get it?

Rating: 3/10 (1 June 2009)

Seriously? I really don't see how any one could rate this film higher than a 3!
I was really looking forward to seeing this film, i didn't read the reviews, just the star ratings. On IMDb it was rated over 8, which i thought was pretty damn good for a horror movie. Then from the poster I seen Empire Magazine had given it four stars along with a bunch of other big reviewers! So i thought, this film must be good.
The day before i go to see it, a girl comes into work terrified, she almost crys as she tells me about it. So I'm now thinking, wow this film must be great. Im really looking forward to a good scare.
Basically get to the cinema. pay for my ticket, food etc. start to watch it. i jumped a few times at the start, even at the car fight scene, which BTW was like something out of Spiderman and didn't belong in a "horror" movie.
I quickly began to realise that this is not a "horror" movie, with all the comic violence, molesting corpses, cute kittens, etc. the only thing that seemed to tie it to the horror genre was the mono performance of the leading lady. Go to acting school there! Horror to me must be something completely different to what it is to everyone else? Halloween any one?
The real "menacing" parts i thought were nothing to do with visuals, but more of the sound and tension, like that time in her house! The less you see the more i think, and that is not the case in this film, with stupid effects, gags and acting.
So I'm guessing that this movie was rated soo high because it was made by the evil dead dudes? so it seems you can get away with making complete and utter rubbish, and have it praised, just because you made a few good films before! Im judging this film on not who made it, but what it was for me, and that was poop. There was nothing at all scary or creepy about this film, i slept fine after it, and i kindda zoned out of it as it was so not entertaining!
also what is scary about a talking goat? it was soo sad, it wasn't even funny!
the reason i gave it three stars was, 1. Justin long was like the only good actor in it, convincing at least. 2. it had a really cute kitten. 3.this star is for myself for dragging myself through hell and back, (basically wasting two hours of my life and wasting £10 for dung!)
avoid it!
