A lust for the eye

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2004)

I loved this movie, and I'm not afraid to admit it.
First off a little notice: I don't know the games.
The story, like many before will undoubtably have said was pretty much crap, I'm not going to defend it... Doesn't really matter, the story was irrelevant anyway. It's supposed to be a horror-flick, does anybody remember Nightmare, Halloween or Friday, if you can find a story in any of those 'classics' let me know.
What this movie was is a lust for the eye. It looked so incredibly slick. The set decorating, the make-up, the costumes, the whole visual department did such an incredible job, that even though, the story had no content what so ever, the movie was so easy on the eye, that I didn't want to turn it off, because of this.
A lot of people could learn from this. Sure, a story is important, but add a unique visual style, and you have a double jackpot.
That's my 5 cents.
