Uncontrollable Laughter

Rating: 4/10 (1 November 2004)

This movie had a great opportunity to be a good scary film. When I had heard that it would be like Se7en, I was quick to stand in line to see it. Regretfully, the story was great but the acting of Cary Elwes and Danny Glover was atrocious (and I always thought they were such good actors!).
As the plot progressed, I found my belief in either of their roles folding fading quickly. Near the climax of the movie, Elwes's performance degenerated into a badly-masked-accent screaming and moaning. The sold out audience in the theater was breaking down laughing at this crucial point in the film. I was laughing so hard I was in tears.
I thought there were a few nice and scary scenes in this movie, but I think the ending left a lot to be desired in the acting department. The audience was hysterically laughing during a thriller/horror movie, and that's never a good sign.
