Jane Levy is beautiful. The movie not so much.

Rating: 4/10 (1 September 2014)

(contains MINOR spoilers.)
Confession: At the end of the movie my attention drifted off to the point I started googling images of the stunning lead actress Jane Levy. This example of the movie's failure to captivate me is the sign of it's mediocrity. Or that maybe i need a girlfriend again. Marry me Jane, i'll promise i'll never lock you in my basement.
Good points of the movie: the imagery is great at times, take for instance the scene in the beginning where Jane Levy (there she is again) shows up for the first time, sitting in the yellow smokey haze of the woods smoking a cigarette on a wrecked old car. Her beauty and charm instantly struck me and throughout the movie she showed up to be the best actor of the bunch.
Added to this I enjoyed some of the early scares but that's about it. Like other people already wrote, this movie feels too generic and completely lacks the humour of it's source material. Someone else here also criticized the 'music' and I completely agree. The frequent use of the airhorn was particularly annoying. It is intended to accentuate the more hysterical moments but the sound just doesn't fit and should be left for war movies. It gets worn out quickly and even laughable after a while.
For some people the gore-factor of this movie will serve as a gruesome attraction. I can enjoy a dose of gore myself, when used sparse like in Aliën or completely over the top as in Braindead. The problem for me with the gore in this movie is that all the severed limbs and cut faces are rapidly thrown in your face without any other purpose than to depress you and make you turn a sour face confronted with the gruesome images. It quickly loses it's shock value.
Well, what's there left to say? A forgettable horror movie with a beautiful lead actress.
