Somehow, even worse than I expected!

Rating: 3/10 (10 July 2013)

I ended up watching this cinematic 'classic' because there was literally no other films on TV at the time. I've got to confess that I wasn't expecting too much from it, having seen numerous trailers for this franchise over the years, but I thought that maybe it will surprise me and not be as dire as I feared. However I was badly mistaken! As I didn't find myself really caring if any of the characters lived or died at no point was there any real tension in the movie. This may not have been purely the fault of the cast but possibly a combination of a poor cast, bad director, shocking script. The soundtrack is also terrible and seemingly constant, even when nothing is really happening.
I will give some credit to Franky G who played Xavier Chavez, he gave an excellent audition for Shaun of the Dead 2, by spending most of film wandering around like a zombie with a knife in his hand and a glazed look on his face.
To sum this up, it is a very poor film and a terrible advertisement for modern Hollywood horror. Some teenagers who haven't seen many films yet may like this nonsense but I doubt many others would do. If you value you free time, AVOID!
