Surprise, surprise

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2014)

Going in, all I knew was that this one had Thor headlining, and that one/more of the brains behind 'Lost' had dreamt this up. Also, on the negative side, the focus was more on the production, distribution and release delays, which never augur well for any flick, esp. when Thor had something similar going on with the 'Red dawn' remake (and we all know how 'classic' that turned out).
Anyway, any fears I had were unfounded. This one turned out to be, simply, one of the most intelligent, and gleefully irreverent take on various genres, including schlock-horror. From one mind-bending twist to the next mind-numbing one, this one doesn't allow anyone to relax, and keeps pushing our buttons all through, defying/sending up all the genre conventions, without descending to parody.
The casting and the acting are apt, with Weaver and Jenkins making welcome appearances, and nothing is what meets the eye.
Surely the makings of a cult classic - Try ignoring reviews written by morons who give everything away, and be prepped to be pleasantly surprised by this masterwork, the likes of which will be rare to watch once again on the big screen. And yeah, take your significant other, and watch it on the big screen.
