Why so much hate?

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2016)

This movie was not perfect but really? This was a good movie, engaging and interesting! I always read reviews while I watch movies, because I'm not scared of spoilers, I actually kind of welcome them because if there is something in the movie that I will not enjoy, spoilers usually point that out.
Anyway! I thought the acting was good! What is everyone saying? I didn't think it was cliché at all. I also thought the plot was crazy original to be a spoof kind of thing. Sure we have seen some aspects of this movie before but they did a great job making it feel new to me. I have been on a horror movie binge over the last few years because I used to be too scared to watch and even with 2 or 3 years of horror in my head I still found this creative and well done.
Spoiler alert!! My favorite part was when Marty came back! He was awesome!! Good for all the Marty's in the horror genre. I love how some of the roles were challenged and I died laughing when the jock ran into that invisible wall. lol. Great stuff. I also missed this bird thing someone mentioned, which apparently ruined the motorcycle stunt for them... so I came out on top!
The only thing I didn't like was how short it was. There could have definitely been a little more back story for the plot. I didn't need more info about the characters but just the idea of the sacrifices, why they choose to do it that way instead of just kidnap and do a ritual, why did it have to be a big show, why did the kids have to pick how they died, was all of that important or valid to the sacrifice? Even if it wasn't valid, I'd like to know why they were doing it that way. 10 or 15 extra minutes of control room talk would have helped get those points across.
Either way, I don't know what people were expecting but this movie was very satisfying. I watched it on TV so I'd like to watch it again, straight through with no commercial interruptions so I can get a real feel for it... and I missed the very beginning with the creepy gas station guy... So, more to explore!
I would recommend it!
