It was different....

Rating: 7/10 (29 September 2012)

Now I want to first state that so called "horror movies" over the last 10 years have been consistently awful. I never find myself scared. I saw The Woman In Black in theaters when it came out, and literally me and my friend were just making jokes during the whole movie about it. I didn't jump once during that movie despite the loud BANG noises that would pop up. Now this movie I did not see in theaters, I rented it, and saw it with that same friend I saw WiB with.
Did I expect this movie to be scary? Well, no, but that's because no movie is scary anymore, not even the highly touted Paranormal Activity movies that people seem to be scared of. This movie just seemed like it would be an easy to grade movie. I thought just by the sound of the movie, it would be worth a 2 out of 10.
I mean, think about it. Five friends alone in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. The jock, the burnout, the home wrecker, the scholar, and the closest thing to a virgin. TYPICAL, right?
WRONG. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
This movie ended up being quite interesting due to the plot. We later find out in the movie that it is all a set-up. Also, the five friends basically have the power to decide what creature comes and kills them off one by one. Interesting, right?
In the first hour of this movie, it looks to be a totally typical horror film. I mean really typical. Everyone seems to be dying quickly. However, two of them happen to live, and they discover the headquarters for the people rigging the game. Chaos seems to break loose throughout and the riggers get a little taste of their own medicine, and to make a long story short, everyone ends up dying. Like, everyone...on the planet.
The acting was all right, nothing to hate or love if you ask me. And I found a few parts in this movie to be quite funny.
Do I HONESTLY believe this is a 10???? No I do not. I simply wanted to bring the rating up from a 7.3 because I think it deserves a 7.5 or 7.6. Overall, much better than the typical horror films.
