oh dear......

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2013)

Who wrote that synopsis, did they even see the film?! Good idea maybe but this film is dire! Crap is too generous! The film appears to set up a number of tensions: adolescent v adult, Jones v Smiths within a middle class neighborhood, rich v poor. Yet all of these dissolve far too quickly with no real exploration of these sources of conflict. The bloody stranger has potential for real development but the opportunity is missed (race, class, back story, human contact....) Some scary moments but most of the cinema audience I was in opted for seeing it as comedy/farce. Not scary, not clever, not even particularly interesting in the end. A waste of an evening, a wasted ticket price. Pity as the idea is an interesting one.
Sorry, but its real, solid, wall to wall crap.
