What the ...?

Rating: 3/10 (31 October 2012)

WARNING HUGE SPOILERS!
This movie was, first of all, strange (not in a good way, though).
It tried to be a mix of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, comedy... while it was none of them. First, it had many plot holes, a thing which I could've gone over with, if that was all. Second, the most interesting character (that old guy at the gas station), which I thought would play an important part in the story was there just for the sake of it. Third, why (OH WHY?) would a bunch of people make bets, joking and laughing about some silly kids dying? I mean, even if there is a "great" purpose of saving the entire humanity (blah, blah), why would you be so happy about killing? Fourth, if in all other countries the operation failed and the faith of humanity rests in their hands, why don't they seem at least a bit stressed? Fifth, what started to look like a decent horror, ended miserably when all those creatures were released from their cells; they looked like a bunch of cartoony monsters with non-realistic blood. And if they were all a bunch of brainless creatures, why were they killing only human beings? Why weren't they killing each other, I mean, they weren't all the same species?... Sixth, there is no such thing as character development, no sort of compassion for any of the characters, no nothing. Just 5 stereotypical kids which happen to die very fast, with 2 of them surviving and smoking relaxed a joint (after one of them was supposedly torn by a werewolf) while assisting to the world's end. WHAT? Seventh, it had some lame comedy parts; but the real problem is that, while I didn't laugh at all at the comedy parts, I laughed at the so called horror parts.
And the list could go on, and on, and on...
Maybe there's a greater meaning to this movie, which I failed to figure out. But again, maybe not.
Mediocre. No matter how I wish, I can't give it more than that. 4/10
