Hi,
Just got back from the pictures.
Not bad at all, maybe I'm a little surprised at what I saw tonight. The death's were never over the top and the gore never excessive. The acting was competent from all which came from a pretty good script. The stronger performances came from Briana Evigan (Step up 2), Leah Pipes and Jamie Chung. Rumour Willis wasn't bad either. But all very easy on the eye as well.
Overall the direction was ok, the party scenes were very well done accompanied with a loud rock/pop soundtrack.
The only let down really was it lacked any real tension or menace when the killer arrived on screen. But there were a couple of nice jumpy moments here and there, and for the girl 2 seats up from us it was all a little scary for her as she had her hands over her eyes most of the time!
Sometimes I wish someone would just throw the horror rules out and create something really scary and original, it all seems like "horror by numbers" at the moment and that's just not scary!
(7/10 - G00d)
Nothing now till Sunday when I think it will be Funny People.
Yep this move was def a 7/10. An above average effort from what could have been a run of the mill remake. Overall the cast were good and the story moved at a reasonable pace. Not sure if the big bad was a menacing menace or just a pest but all in all it seemed to have the desired effect on the rest of the cinema crowd (which helped to up the ante).
