All hyped up for nothing

Rating: 6/10 (7 January 2006)

I was all excited to go see this movie. The reviews I've heard said it would be one of the scariest movies. It wasn't. It was, however disturbing. Seeing the previews and hearing that some people were being taken out by paramedics and others were passing out was all bogus. The crowd at the theater was laughing at certain parts that were not funny and weren't intended to be. I read all these reviews that were making it seem like a real horror, one that would finally live up to the standards. It was more grotesque than anything. I liken it to the Texas Chainsaw Massicure. What was all the hype about? I could see worst things in movies like House of 1000 Corpes or even Aliens. It was good to an extent. I can't wait to see if the come out with either an unrated version or directors cut on DVD. Perhaps then it will truly be the horror it was hyped to be.
