A no-thriller with the most unconvincing plot (if any at all)

Rating: 2/10 (2 December 2008)

I have to admit that I am no big fan of horror movies but this is a major disappointment to me considering the constantly high ratings for it throughout the years. This is NOT SCARY at all. Every move was so predictable. The visual effects were not scary. The lighting did not impress. Keeping the room or the street completely dark except an unnatural, anonymous source of very sharp light shining in one particular direction does not make the movie scary but unconvincing. The shadows behind the characters under such sharp light sources who were supposingly in a dark room or a dark corner of the street made me laugh. And that girl who somehow claimed the guys thought she was too smart for them was indeed the dumbest idiot, who put the knife on the floor TWICE in order for the murderer to surge and attack her again. She should have stabbed herself and cut the movie short by an hour. Also, letting a highly dangerous prisoner at large and allowing him to drive in an official car freely in town is too amazing to be true. All in all, a major disappointment though not reaching the honourable rating of 1 (awful). But would have rated it a 1.5 if allowed to.
