definitely not my favourite film

Rating: 6/10 (14 September 2012)

I didn't enjoy this film as much as I have other horror films. I found the plot line very confusing (constant cuts to a laboratory of some sort for reasons not explained till the end). In addition, I found the plot line, especially the beginning very stereotypical and cliché. Also, a lot of the characters are very stereotypical, as they all get killed in what seems to be a specific order. All of this makes the tag-line for the film "you think you know the story" seem very contradictory. I found the comedy elements to the film to not fit very well with the theme of the film, as it has in other horrors. The way the writers have tried to confuse the audience to what the true story is worked a little too well as I didn't understand what the reason for the monster being released and trying to kill everyone. I think the film tried to confuse the audience like The Sixth Sense did, but didn't succeed as well as they may have wanted. Overall I rated this film a 6/10 as I didn't enjoy it that much.
