ok....I've met a lot of horror fans that for some reason love this movie, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. It came on HBO the other night, and all I remembered about it for some reason was the reveal of the killer (who its obvious is the killer throughout the movie) so I thought I'd give it a watch. I thought maybe I just gave this movie a bad rap and should just give it another chance. I really wish I hadn't.
First off the killer is stupid, its a man dressed as a woman and you can OBVIOUSLY tell. Theres a big difference between the sound a man makes and the sound a woman makes when they go "OWW!". So I thought that was a dumb little twist they tried to hide from the audience. Another is the fact that pretty much everybody dies off screen. Off screen kills aren't automatically always terrible but in this movie they're all terrible.
I personally don't have to have nudity in my movies at all, but when a movie is about a psycho killing off virgins and the kids decide to have a big sex party in the end....I'm expecting some boobage, and there isn't any. The only set of jugs in this flick are some dead chick laying on a morgue slab, no thanks. Theres another thing that annoys me. It has that one character that almost every one of these movies has and its that one really eccentric over the top character that dresses really weird and has to shake things up. You know the one, the guy most of us didn't really go to high school with in real life. He's played this time by Karim Malicki Sanchez. You probably don't know the name but trust me you've seen him a billion times. I don't always dislike him, but god I did in this.
The acting in this movie is atrocious. Yeah Michael Biehn from Terminator and Aliens is in this and that's cool, but that doesn't save the rest of the movie. Although this one is staring the late Brittany Murphy who did do a good job in this, and was adorable as hell. Still sucks she died. I didn't mind her in most things. And the boyfriend, FUCK I hated this guy. He has no redeeming qualities at all and we're supposed to pull for him in the end? no no no no. He was a fuck stick douche bag, he should have died. And there's one other part in the end that made no sense. This movie isn't made artsy, its not got an unrealistic look to it. Its filmed (poorly) as if this is happening in real life. Yet there's supposed to be some kind of metaphor or some stupid shit in the end when the "falls" in the movie turn blood red out of nowhere, which was just dumb as hell. This whole movie is just dumb as shit.
