A no brain flick for the masses

Rating: 2/10 (24 November 2007)

I saw this film in the cinemas with some Buddy's as we thought vampires and werewolves? what can be better?
impaling ones eyes with a pitchfork thats what.
On to the review. The film is just a mish mash of all horror movies of old and to a lacklustre effect,i wouldn't say the acting is awful but there wasn't any breakthrough performances and I'm sure the script didn't help much. Kate Beckinsales accent wasn't that bad but i believe the writers/director/producers only wanted her in this movie as eye candy which is wrong Kate deserves a lot more than that. Her character also seems to be invulnerable to all forms of pain and can Fall through tree branches from 30-40 feet and get slammed into walls without consequence. Then it looks like she forgot her cheat codes as she was killed by bring pushed onto a ....sofa..? wait wait wait hold up was her character allergic to velvet or something? i found this pretty ridiculous. Hugh Jackman comes in with the stereotyped cheesy one liner action hero which is what has been the norm for summer blockbusters to be honest. CGI has been a main gripe with some people I'm with Spielberg's FORMER conclusion of the less you see the better as too much cgi takes away from the connections with the characters. That along with the lack of character development really does pull this movie down.
Watch this film if your in the mood for a cheesy popcorn flick but otherwise give it a miss.
