Far From Scary

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2005)

Lots of people had been hyping this and I was excited and anxious to rent it to see what all of the fuss was about and when I finally got to rent it (this was one or two years ago, I believe) I was expecting The Exorcist level of scary because that's what lots of people I knew had been hyping it to be.
Wow, I sure was surprised! I found it far from scary! It's OK/decent movie wise but as far as horror movies go I think I'd rank this more as mystery but I didn't find it scary one bit.
Maybe it's because I had seen the commercials for Scary Movie 3 parodying it...I dunno but I didn't find it scary one bit.
I think it'll be awhile before we see an actual scary (good) horror movie (an original one too...not an imported remake from Asia or a crappy remake that butchers an original from the 1970s!) Though, maybe I'm pushing a bit...a horror movie that's actually scary and good would be real nice. (For a change!)
