Could have been better

Rating: 5/10 (26 April 2012)

Maybe because this film had been billed as a "Game Changer" I was expecting a little more.
In my opinion one of the key elements to a successful horror/slasher movie is that it needs to be marginally believable - this very definitely isn't.
It compliments the horror genre with so many references to bygone classics - but I'm not sure that was really necessary.
I found myself trying to analyse the film the whole way through and work out what was going on - that spoilt it for me and left me disappointed with the ending. I was waiting for a sharp twist that didn't come instead it was more like a gentle turn - BORING!. That said - I think the story would have suited a comic book or animation a lot better.
The casting was okay, without Chris Hemsworth and Sigourney Weaver my vote would have been a 4 out of 10. I did like the idea of the "shaggy-esque" anti hero though.
In summary - it wasn't a waste of £10. I left the cinema pondering why this film was made. I just hope this isn't a catalyst for more of the same. "COULD HAVE DONE BETTER"
