What is all the fuss about?

Rating: 3/10 (5 February 2006)

I seem to be in the minority strangely, but I thought this film was simple, predictable, hammy and cringe-worthy in so many places. Sure it was entertaining in a don't think, lazy film-watching way, but certainly not worth the fuss everyone seems to be giving it for being such a 'scary movie'. It was laughable not scary - you know, in the way you crease up when Freddie Kruger runs after the girl in Nightmare On Elm Street, with long arms outstretched and wobbling. Not to say there aren't a couple of alright moments, the start and the end are OK. But that's it. The rest is insulting in a 'you go sister whoop whoop!!' kinda way. I guess maybe guys like it because it has pretty girls in tight rubber suits doing Charlie's Angels moves. Does anyone seem to notice the glaringly obvious plot flaws too? And the blatant stealing of scenes from better, scarier films? No? Must just be me then. Maybe watch it if you're intrigued, but don't buy it - you'll only encourage them.
