There Should Be an R-X Rating for Movies Like This

Rating: 1/10 (28 April 2006)

Had movie reviews given any clue as to what this movie was really all about, I would never have gone to see it. Which, I guess, is why reviewers didn't say much in advance. Based on a video game?...Yikes! That information alone would have stopped me in my tracks. Honestly, where does the sickness underlying this particular segment of the gaming generation come from? Why do they (or any of the rest of us) need to see so much blood and violence? And what's with all the overly-stereotyped characters? The perfect woman...a hot Mom protecting her child, no matter what that child is actually like...? A strong, handsome husband who does everything he can to protect mother and child...? A butch-as-can-be female cop who, coincidentally, gets killed in the most gruesome manner...? A gaggle of murderous nurses whose breasts can't wait to spill out of their costumes...? Oh, and let's not forget to lay blame where it REALLY belongs...right with a handful of aging religious zealots! As if it could get any worse, the creators of this game/movie really could have benefited from at least a little bit of originality. I mean, how many more movies can we take with a sweet little brown-haired girl as a monster in disguise? Gimme a break! From now on, I'll be sure to read extensively before I go to see anything so obscure in the theaters.
