Not even close to a modern movie

Rating: 1/10 (24 November 2007)

Everyone's saying how classic this movie is and how like the 1950's it is. Well I'm 20 and it sucks. It's predictable and stupid just like old horror movies. They may have been fun and entertaining back in the day but now they're idiotic. I can't believe they tried to pass this off as a modern movie! When you compare circumstances, results, and even lines, it's exactly the same as that other Stephen King movie with the weird guy and the storm and island community and the "give me what I want and I'll go away." Seriously, it's like he recycled that exact storyline. If you saw the entire movie you really know what horribly recycled part I'm especially talking about too. The only difference is that THIS movie isn't quality enough to be shown on the sci fi channel. Aside from the story, the acting and script is so far from true to life human interaction and dialogue, it's laughable. They couldn't even make a simple, short argument scene remotely realistic. If gorillas could talk, the argument they'd have was in this movie. For the entire movie the audience around me made it obvious that the decision was unanimous about what we wanted characters to do in every circumstance and they always did the opposite like a bunch of idiots. They weren't even people, they were props to tell the story. It was like you wanted to scream "tell her to shut up" or "run, dumbass!" or "just do it this way!" or "if you don't do this, that will happen" but they never did because that just wouldn't fit in the plot. Absolutely horrendous writing. The movie is rated R because it's grosser and gorier than Saw and Stephen King should be locked up forever for making the ending the way he did just for its cheap shock value. Everyone walked out saying "That's awful! That movie sucked!" I have no idea how the hell it currently has such a high rating. What's wrong with you people?! Don't ever see this movie.
