not a good movie at all!

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2006)

First off i must state that when i saw previews for this movie, i was very excited! This movie looked sick, and therefore very interesting. i told people how i was going to go see it, and everyone told me how horrible it looked (in a good way) and how it would be way to scary for them to see it. i brought my friend along with me, and we were both very nervous but excited about viewing this movie. we sat down, with every intention of being scared out of our minds. we wore hooded sweatshirts and big baggy coats so we can curl up into balls when the movie got too intense. i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this movie was the most disappointing movie i had ever seen. the first 45 minutes of the film closely resembled the movie Euro Trip. which is not a horror movie at all, but a comedy about a few teenagers taking a trip all over Europe and having a good time. This movie resembled Euro Trip down to the silly scenes on the train, and with the fanny pack. i felt like this movie was not only a rip off of a dumb movie, but it also had terrible acting. Finally, when they got down to the good stuff, i sunk into my chair with relief. pleased that the movie will now start with the gory, good parts. The first scary scene was about to show the man torturing someone, and they just cut to a black screen. they also had some "deep" plot points explaining how one of the lead characters witnessed a young girl drown and he wasn't able to do enough to help her. Come on Quentin Tarrantino, give me a break! i sat through that movie for and hour and a half, waiting very impatiently for some decent part to come on. which it never did. i prayed for the main character to be killed, so the movie would end. i eventually look up at my friend who is just sitting there staring blankly at the big screen, and i say "do you want to just leave? this movie sucks!" and she says "yea, lets leave. i thought this was going to be better." I continued to stay in my seat and give it one last shot. then when the scene came up with the main character getting out of the building i was excited because I figured it was almost over. he ran to the car and was about to get away when he heard a girl scream. of course, thats where that plot point from before comes into play. at this point, i was seriously done with this movie. i grabbed my things, and walked right out. i must say i have never walked out of a movie, especially one that i was so very excited to see in the first place.
thank you very much for ruining my day off! i thought Kill Bill was good though -Barbara Vetri
