Horror - not in my book.

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2007)

Having heard a friend say that this was "really frightening" ... I went and hired it. Talk about a waste of $3.50. This would have to be one of the lamest horror flicks I've ever seen. Badly acted, badly directed ... I mean really, if you're going to cut someone's fingers off with an ax, make sure they remain off until the end of the movie at least. Wolf Creek was far more frightening than this lame remake. The setting could have been very good for the movie, but as most of it was filmed in broad daylight it lost a lot of impact. The young "hero" of the film (the son) was just plain silly, fancy running away from an attacker and pointing the gun OVER your shoulder (whilst running) and not looking to shoot ... and, as for focussing the horror aspect around mutant humans, make them at least believable.
