crappy horror scenes but decent social commentary

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2008)

Wow, i really can't remember being so split up about a movie before. I'll start with what i like : The movie features a tiny mirror image of todays Western world. In other words, America! A terrible catastrophe, a crazy religious fanatic and even crazier people who listen to her and start to do her bidding. How could you sum up what happened in the US during the past 7 years any better ? A nice movie so far, but now the parts that are not that good... Maybe it's a bit conservative, but i don't believe a good horror movie's made of fancy animations (and by the way, in this movie they SUCK) or big and evil monsters. It's supsence, suspense that makes a good horror movie. And suspense is the exact thing this movie hasn't got. Several bloody slaughter scenes, some anxious shock moments.. don't get me wrong, i like splatter movies, but this ain't one... the one thing that doesn't make me give this movie a 5 or worse, is the ending... boy, what an ending! don't wanna spoiler it, but i'd say the movie is worth watching because of the ending alone..
