Here we go again

Rating: 3/10 (19 March 2006)

Horror by numbers, as if the idea of trying something new terrifies the director more than flesh eating mutants
As ever we begin with 'context' - family in desert, for some reason. Then we have the obligatory 'getting to know the victims' - unremarkable stereotypes mostly - and a red neck republican father, ho-rah! Then we have ages of nothing - slowly mounting tension....er, no. Then plenty of gore to disguise the fact we just don't care about the film as we are becoming aware of its clichéd nature Then we have the ''shocking'' ending
Horror by numbers, that ol' tried and true formulae
The gore is fairly tame really - as with all modern horror gore is used because the director cant scare us
Gore is not scary its unpleasant, fake blood is no substitute for real tension
The film is ultimately rather pointless....
