Few Flaws in execution but no flaws in the Idea and Concept= Good Movie

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2005)

I would like to start out by saying that this movie rocks. It was a great idea where the killer finally does more with his victims than simply stabbing them. That fact alone puts it ahead of most Slasher Horror Movies. But, to make it even better the script is brilliant. All of the deathtraps are great in concept. And certain things like the Puppet and Pig Suit {which by the way sound ridiculous} are made with great precision. The ending is very well thought out and give a great twist to the end of the film. Alas it is time for the bad. While this movie's idea is great there are some lacks in the form of direction, and budget. Although the acting was okay it would have benefited from more rehearsal and a few more takes. I mean my favorite actor on this movie was a debuting actor. Carry Elwes isn't that bad until the end when overacting kicks in to a whole new effect of horribly. Plus to be such an experienced actor Danny Glover really could've done a better job. Also Amanda's deathtrap seems just a little bit too much of a music video for my liking. But even with these problems the scares and the ending are perfected with great precision. So even with its shortcomings this is still one of my favorite horror movies of the new millennium. Watch it Now!!!!
