Plotless and gruesome...is this the new "Friday the 13th"?

Rating: 4/10 (28 March 2000)

Even though most teenie-boppers will disagree with me, this is among the biggest wastes of money I've seen. The effects are fairly good, but this is basically "Faces of Death" with a plot (actually, not much of a plot). It seems that if you cheat death, it will come back to kill you in only the most gruesome and creative way...what ever happened to the old quick and lethal heart attack? ...must be out of fashion these days. Why does death feel a need to "cover its tracks" and make these deaths look like accidents?
Not just any accidents, but the bloodiest, most complex accidents ever imagined. And where did the Candyman come from? That had to be one of the most bizarre and pointless cameos ever. The effects and creative killings were all that made this film watchable. I won't even get into the acting on this one.
My rating: 4
