"Innovative" is something else

Rating: 5/10 (4 August 2001)

There could certainly have been hundreds of ways to make a better movie out of this "Death hunts people"-topic. The first mistake was to choose highschool pupils as the main characters, which is surely good for making teenagers go to the cinema to watch the film, but concerning the acting this was catastrophic. The whole plot is built to impress the low-expectations-14-to-19-years-old-audience, not only is the plot as predictable as what day comes after Monday, this ever present "death has a scheme and all I have to do is find out how it works" is just ridiculous. Moreover there are five to ten hints every time a person is going to be killed, I think one or two NOT SO OBVIOUS hints would have been enough (I just remind of one scene: "Tod" cut out of a newspaper, it really canÂ´t be more obvious!!), but I guess that was necessary to make sure that everybody in the audience would get it. Some special effects were nice but I bet the higher the rating on imdb.com the lower the age of the voter. Hopefully those highschool-films will soon reach their final destination.
