In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.

Let me give you an example: plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !
where 's joblo coming from ?
a nightmare of elm street 3 ( 7/10 ) - blair witch 2 ( 7/10 ) - the crow ( 9/10 ) - the crow : salvation ( 4/10 )
- lost highway ( 10/10 ) - memento ( 10/10 ) - the others ( 9/10 ) - stir of echoes ( 8/10 )
The answer to this example can be: N
Here is why: The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").

OK. solve this:
i 'm going to start this review off with a hypothetical question .
let 's say you 've just been in a car accident , and the driver of the other vehicle is unconscious .
your friends have left to go get help , and you 're waiting to see if the victim wakes up .
a tow - truck comes along , and the driver hops out of the truck to see what 's going on .
he then proceeds to kill the unconscious victim by snapping his neck .
do you : a ) run away screaming for your life , staying away from the main road , b )
run away ( but not too fast ) and stay on the main road even when the madman in the truck starts following you ,
* stop * to catch your breath , try to negotiate with the psycho , and when that fails , start running away again , all the while * staying on the main road * ? if you answered " a " , you are far more intelligent than the screenwriter of " texas chainsaw massacre : the next generation " and will likely hate this movie . however , if you answered " b " , prepare to enjoy a film made with idiots like you in mind !
" texas chainsaw massacre :
the next generation " is being called a sequel , but it 's really more of a remake of the original .
there 's a few changes here and there , but it 's essentially the same ( even the infamous " meathook " scene has been re - created . )
the story opens with four teenagers hitting the road on the night of their prom , and somehow ending up in the middle of nowhere .
needless to say , they soon encounter leatherface and his nutty family .
much carnage ensues .
to call this movie inept would be putting it mildly .
in addition to the laughably idiotic situation i mentioned in my hypothetical question , there is a moment towards the end of the film where one of the baddies is killed by an airplane that literally comes out of nowhere .
it just swoops down and kills him with its wheel .
no explantion is given as to who was flying it or why he / she is going around killing people with the planes wheel .
the dialogue is even more atrocious .
zellwegger , who is kidnapped by " the family " early on , keeps trying to have normal conversations with these people .
when you 're surrounded by maniacs wielding chainsaws and dead corpses , i would think that rationality would go out the window .
speaking of going out the window , there is a scene in which zellwegger jumps out a window .
apparently , the stunt double had a little trouble , because she visibly gets stuck in the window .
the director quickly cuts to a wide shot where the stunt double * does n't * get caught in the window .
this was one of many glaring inconsistencies .
there are so many , in fact , that if i were to name them all , this review would be several pages long .
the only reason i am giving this movie one star instead of no stars is because of matthew mcconaughey .
he plays a member of " the family " with a hydraulic leg ( home - made , i might add ) and is so completely over - the - top , you ca n't help but be amazed by his performance .
he obviously had a lot of fun with this part , and it really shows .
he makes jack nicholson 's portrayal of the psychotic inn keeper in " the shining " look restrained in comparison .
for a horror movie , " texas chainsaw massacre : the next generation " contains surprisingly little gore .
in fact , in contains none .
there 's a little blood here and there , but that 's as far as it goes .
which leads me to believe that the budget must have been * astonishingly * low , and it shows .
everything about the movie looks cheap , from the sets to the costumes .
especially leatherface .
once frightening and nightmare inducing , he 's now as terrifying as dame edna .
do yourself a favor and take a pass at this remake . check out the far superior original instead .
