Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I am/was in a weird place but I'm back in action so don't you despair. And since people have told me they love my movie reviews (in person, through email and through postcards) I feel I must provide my audience with what they want! So with out further awaiting :
WARNING REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!
I don't even know where to begin with this one! First off I dragged my friends and family to see this. That was a strike against me. Then we when we enter the movie we realize that the rest of the audience was teenagers who were all playing on their cell phones and giggling. Strike two. Broken smashed seats covered with garbage bags helps to round out the 3rd strike against me.
And the movie hadn't even started yet! That is a classic right there. So then the movie begins. (I should have blogged this last night when it was fresher in my mind). I just going to make a list of what was wrong. Here goes (in no particular order):
1) The dialogue was straight awful. It was like it was written for a new target audience of 16-20 year olds that haven't seen the original trilogy.
2) I know movies are never 100 percent realistic but c'mon here. Example: a character received a knife straight through the head (centre line above the eyes). The character is able to get out of his police car and take a few swings at the killer and get some dialogue out before he collapses. I can only suspend disbelief so much.
3) I won't "unmask" the scream killer or killer(s) (Ha!) but let's say at the end I was like what the? A killer would have to be in shape at least a little bit. When I cannot envision the killer even having enough strength to properly chop kitchen vegetables with a knife you know something is wrong.
4) I don't like David Arguette
5) Police actions and procedures are nothing like they would be in real life (small complaint)
6) Usually Anthony Anderson adds comedic relief or at least some extra entertaiment to a movie. Not in this one.
I could go on and on. I normally don't want horror movies anyways (I avoid straight torture movies). I was hoping this would be okay because normally slasher flicks have somewhat of a plot and some acting and not just straight gore. Watch at your own risk. I did not walk out so the movie has some positive to it.
