Beyond Cliché

Rating: 4/10 (29 November 2012)

I've never been so disappointed by a horror movie. Usually you know first hand what you're getting- cheesy, gory, traumatizing. I thought that because of the reviews of the movie, and of course friends telling me to see it, that it would be decent. It's beyond cliché. Everything in it has been done. There are thoughtless "plot twists". And the ending is pretty much resolved by deus ex machina. Literally. The graphics are neat but not up to the standards of a true horror film. The suspense is contrived. I suppose if you're 12 and you've never seen a horror movie before you might enjoy it. But I'm 27 and I have no time for such useless movies.
