Could have been funnier

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2005)

This film scared the life out of me. I was so terrified that I was shaking for most of the film and walked out of the cinema literally exhausted. It wasn't until later that the experience was lost on me and I started laughing. Perhaps it would've been too comical had they incorporated into the first horrific scenes of people disintegrating a person speeding away hands blazing in a wheelchair to suddenly disappear 'poof' and have the wheelchair hooning along unoccupied, a crippled person on crutches hurrying away 'poof' to have the crutches fall over, or a cycle squad on tour moving through 'poof poof poof poof poof' and you're left with personless bicycles. Such wasted opportunities. I hope that the spoofers make such use when this film appears, no doubt, in Scary Movie 4.
