Save for a Tuesday rainy afternoon

Rating: 4/10 (21 September 2008)

OK, this is my first time ever reviewing here, and despite the enormous amount of people that voted this movie as a 7, I have to disagree. I've read some of the reviews attempting to defend this film, and I will admit they have a point. Yes it is unnecessary to be spoon-fed all info, and in a movie like this, information or character BIOS don't make it any better. Stephen has given us both some of the best horror movies ever, and some of the most awful ones too, with everything else in between. I think this it's not his worst and definitely not his best work. At some points the great cast manages to tell the story and rescue the plot from being "the children of the corn", at others it is painfully overacted and filled with involuntary humor, the worst kind. Still, as much as I dislike this film in particular, I knew I wasn't in for a Oscar-winning performance, or even an MTV-Movie-Awards-winning one, I mean, nobody goes to see a horror flick expecting to see a work of art, not in these days at least. My point being, it's not disappointing, personally I hate it, but I admit that it's not the worst worse movie I've seen, and if you're in the proper mood, it can be quite entertaining. The end of the movie ALMOST makes it worthwhile, it provides for a good pondering. So go ahead sand watch this, if you like the genre you're in for a treat, for all the actual TRUE lovers of cinema, well, you wouldn't be caught dead watching this, but for those misfortunate souls that are curious, and might be thinking of giving it a chance.. DON'T!
