Skip It ! ! !

Rating: 4/10 (8 January 2006)

What a let down this film was. I really felt ripped off because I thought this would be 'at least' a somewhat satisfying fast food fun flick. And hey, I didn't have high expectations in the least either.
In summary, the first hour felt like it was written by a horned 18 year old taste testing his own fantasy. Traveling Europe, hooking up with some hot foreigner babes with ease for some romper stomper free reign frolic. I don't mind some fun but COME ON, have some debt or story or .... just SOMETHING here. No worry... no suspense... no creepiness, nothing.
Then finally when the ball get's rollin, (and only for a few minutes at that) even the supposed 'gross' or stomach churning points were like a warm flat opened can of coke. No fizzle, nothing! The effects of the, well lets just say the eye ball sequence were blatantly fake taking any fizzle of creepiness from it. Not to mention our 'injured' parties were running around like nothing had been done to them. Hardly a squint of pain to help you remember they'd been, well 'worked on'.
If at all anything good, the lead actor has a certain something and I believe he could show up in something more worthy of a chance. The camera work and even the basics of the direction were satisfactory however the script was just crap! They went out for a lil T & A to entice the youths while jumping the (I wanna be like cool like 'Saw'), bandwagon. "Hey, lets put out a scary movie that sucks and hopefully make some money the first weekend with a bunch of hype before everyone actually realizes...this sucks!".
Not to mention Quentin Tarantino's power meter dropping a couple of notches for putting his name on such a let down piece of shite.
So if your a 17 year old guy who's middle name is 'hormone' and you don't care about a film being smart enough to take you away to a good experience, then this might be your jar of Vaseline. Other than that... skip it! P.S. No wonder the box office was down a record 8% this year. Keep putting out this kind of adolescent crap and we'll be seeing drive in movies making a come back.
