Um...scary?

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2007)

Why, oh why are there no good horror movies being made anymore? Did we use up all of our collective creativity inventing the Segway? Hooray for the gore and all, (although Dr. Giggles has it beaten in that department) but this movie has the weakest plot line ever, the special effects really weren't that great, and the 'acting' was on level with a kindergarten graduation skit. Not once did I wonder "Whodunit?", there was no slow buildup of tension or fear, no in-depth character encounters, just 94 minutes of mind-numbing, IQ-draining nonsense. I realize that there will never be another Shining, Exorcist, or Rosemary's Baby, and maybe those standards are unfairly high, but surely filmmakers who probably make more money than god should at least try to EARN some of it.
