Typical, uninspired Hollywood cinematic suppository.

Rating: 1/10 (20 April 2012)

This movie does not redefine horror, as others have stated. It does not raise the bar either. It does raise the bile in my throat when I know the multiple **sholes responsible for this crapfest made a buttload of money. Their is nothing new here, no plot twist of any kind. If you saw the trailer you know what the jist is. Please, I beg you, I am not the arrogant type but as someone with decent taste in film, I have to take a stand here, save your hard earned money. Make Hollywood earn theirs by putting out some material that doesn't stink up the joint. I have to write ten lines on this stinker so here goes. Let's name some well done horror films. Go rent the new remake of "Dawn of the Dead", if you like gore/action. Rent "The Others" if you like a good ghost story with a nice plot twist. Maybe "The Changeling" if your down for a classic. Check out Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive" if you want some outrageous, campy horror fun. Silent horror you say? "The Cabinet of Dr. Calighari", from 1919 is a surreal masterpiece. Something newer? I had faith in Eli Roth for a brief moment with "Cabin Fever". The shine has now worn off, but still recommend the film for something entertaining. If you want a modern day "old fashioned" monster movie, check out "Jeepers Creepers". Foreign film? Anyone who has ventured down this path knows that their are several countries completely blowing us out of the water in the horror genre. "Audition" will make you cringe uncomfortably. Look up any of Hollywood's schlock from the past 15 years or so and find the original films (The Ring, The Grudge, Let the Right One In, etc.) Oh Hollywood you have sodomized so many great films.......
