Thoroughly disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (30 September 2012)

Unfortunately folks, it is not good news. I was thoroughly excited about watching this one, especially since it had an average rating of 7.3/10 on IMDb, which is usually a good cross-reference for me when choosing a movie to watch.
I am a horror movie fan, have been since I was a child. In a way, everybody forgets about the real world when endeavouring to watch a horror movie; to get lost in the experience. The movie starts out as your average teenager-slashing movie does - quite boringly. Quite slow. By the time something happens, the special effects annoyed me. The plot was extremely predictable up until nearing the end, when things became utterly bizarre and downright silly. Again, special effects make you question whether or not you are watching a Looney Tunes episode as opposed to a horror film. As you have probably gathered, I am not a fan of special effects. I take my hat off to every film maker who stages everything manually. Look at The Exorcist - thought of as some of the most creative and effective scenes in film making, even to this day.
All in all, I give this film a 2/10. Mediocre acting, silly concepts, awful special effects, a pretty awful ending, a slow start, an underwhelming middle, I struggle to say anything positive about this movie. It was really poor and really disappointing; really surprised to be writing this review considering the good IMDb rating and critical reviews on the film - most of which I usually agree with. Not this time, for sure.
