What if Rube Goldberg had an Evil Twin who filled in for Death one day? You would get this movie. Aside from being largely predictable, double so for not having seen anything of it before aside from the previews when it was first in theaters. I thought that death was trying way to hard to kill these people. If it was trying to make them look like accidents then was going about it all wrong. I get that it makes for more excitement in the anticipation but i honestly thought this movie was anticipationless and suspenseless.
When people are going to die you can see exactly how they are going to die right when it happens and before had. The film makers tip their hand way to much for the duration. My other complaint was the insane funeral home worker, who I was under the initial impression was an incarnation of death, but after seeing the second film, think he was just some nutcase and wonder why they would ever go to him for advice, except that he convienantly knows everything they need to know or at least enough to get them in the right direction.
All in all I thought this film would be the best kind to rent with some friends and then make fun of while it runs. It wasn't scary or shocking or suspenseful at all.
