Write a negative movie review.
Okay. So I just got back. Before I start my review, let me tell you one thing: I wanted to like this movie. I know I've been negative in the past, but I was hoping to be surprised and actually come out liking the film. I didn't.

It's not just the fact that every horror cliché imaginable is in this. And it's not just the fact that they make every little thing into a jump scare (walking into a baseball bat left on the floor? Are you kidding me?). It just wasn't scary. One thing I was surprised about: there was more blood than I thought there was going to be.. which isn't saying much.

The film starts off with Donna being dropped off by Lisa's mom at her house. She comes in.. goes upstairs. Camera pans to her father dead on the couch. Spooky. She goes upstairs, where the aforementioned baseball bat scene happens. Finds her brother on his bed, apparently dead (how could she tell? He didn't have a spot of blood on him). Killer comes in, Donna hides under bed, mom dies. She runs outside screaming for help. Killer behind her: "I did it for us." Cut to therapy session. This confused a lot of people- everyone was asking whether or not her family actually died or if she imagined it- and she mentions how the nightmares have started coming back. Filler dialogue ensues.

THey cut to the chase pretty quick. Few scenes at the salon, they go to the hotel. Of course the killer is already there (for some reason, he escaped 3 days ago but the police/family weren't informed until he's already there). More filler ensues.

I'm not going to go on about what happens in the film, because I don't want to spoil it too much. If you want to know who dies, Horror_Fan made a post about it already. But on the subjects of deaths: they weren't that exciting. People in the theatre actually laughed out loud (an experience I've never had before in a horror movie, not even in When A Stranger Calls) during several of them. One in particular: the bus boy guy who gives the most hilarious 'scared' face I've ever seen. The only death involving any blood was Lisa's, and that was pretty scarce. Her throat is slashed, blood (if you can even call it that- it was practically black) splatters on the curtain-thing. The only other blood was on Claire when we see her body. Apparently, Fenton decided to stab her a few times after he choked her to death. Um, okay? The movie was one of the most clichéd I've ever seen. Let's see here.. obligatory close-mirror-curtain-BOOM! scene. Check. Twice, actually (you could tell they were struggling). Mandatory backing-up-into-killer. Check. There's also the backing-up-into-lamp scene, but you've all seen that. Oh, you say you want a birds-flying-away scare? Well, you got it! (Yes, they managed to incorporate one of those in here). And, of course, the we-have-security-on-all-exits-but-he-still-escaped scene. Shall I go on? I could.

For anyone saying the characters weren't stupid, are you kidding me? "Oh, even though the massive alarm is ringing, literally saying PLEASE VACATE THE BUILDING, and 3 of my friends are missing, I'm going to go upstairs to get my wrap." These characters were some of the most flawed and stupid characters ever. The only likable character - Lisa - made one of the most stupid moves in the movie. "Oh, I just realized the psycho-teacher is here! I must leave my strong boyfriend behind to run off by myself to warn her! Oh, shoot, the elevator is being to slow? Guess I'll take the stairs and run off into the construction site!" Ugh. By the end of the film, they all deserved to die. The only death anyone felt any remorse for was Donna's boyfriend (I can't even remember his name- is that bad?), and by that time, the audience was completely drained out of this scareless, clichéd film.

There were SOME positives- the acting was decent for the most part, and it was well-shot. But that's about it.

I'd give it a 1/5, and that's being generous. Just for the laughs (and believe me, the audience had a few), and Brittany Snow.

Oh, and the reaction was bad. Very bad. People were boo-ing after the movie ended and buzz afterwards was very negative. Expect bad legs for this one.

Okej. Så jag kom precis tillbaka. Innan jag börjar min recension, låt mig säga dig en sak: Jag ville gilla den här filmen. Jag vet att jag har varit negativ tidigare, men jag hoppades bli överraskad och komma ut och gilla filmen. Det gjorde jag inte. Det är inte bara det faktum att varje skräckkliché som kan tänkas finns i detta. Och det är inte bara det faktum att de gör varje liten sak till ett hopp skrämsel (gå in i ett basebollträ kvar på golvet? Skojar du? Det var bara inte skrämmande. En sak blev jag förvånad över: det var mer blod än jag trodde att det skulle bli.. vilket inte säger mycket. Filmen börjar med att Donna skjutsas av Lisas mamma hemma hos henne. Hon kommer in och går upp. Kamerapannor till sin far död på soffan. Spökigt. Hon går upp, där den nämnda basebollträscenen händer. Hittar sin bror på sin säng, tydligen död (hur kunde hon veta? Han hade ingen blodfläck på sig). Mördaren kommer in, Donna gömmer sig under sängen, mamma dör. Hon springer ut och skriker på hjälp. Mördaren bakom henne: "Jag gjorde det för oss." Gå till terapin. Detta förvirrade en hel del människor- alla frågade om hennes familj faktiskt dog eller om hon föreställde sig det- och hon nämner hur mardrömmarna har börjat komma tillbaka. Dialogrutan Fyllare följer. - Hej, gå rakt på sak. Få scener på salongen, de går till hotellet. Naturligtvis är mördaren redan där (av någon anledning rymde han för 3 dagar sedan men polisen/familjen informerades inte förrän han redan var där). Fler fyllningar följer. Jag tänker inte prata om vad som händer i filmen, för jag vill inte förstöra det för mycket. Om du vill veta vem som dör, Skräck_Fan gjorde ett inlägg om det redan. Men när det gäller dödsfallen var de inte så spännande. Folk på teatern skrattade faktiskt högt (en upplevelse jag aldrig haft tidigare i en skräckfilm, inte ens i When A Stranger Calls) under flera av dem. Särskilt busskillen som ger mig det roligaste "rädda" ansiktet. Det enda dödsfallet med något blod var Lisas, och det var ganska sällsynt. Hennes hals är avskuren, blod (om man ens kan kalla det att- det var praktiskt taget svart) stänker på gardin-grejen. Det enda andra blodet fanns på Claire när vi såg hennes kropp. Fenton bestämde sig tydligen för att hugga henne några gånger efter att han kvävt henne till döds. Okej? Filmen var en av de mest klichéer jag någonsin sett. Vi ska se.. obligatorisk nära-spegel-gardin-boom! Scen. Schack. Två gånger, faktiskt (man kunde se att de kämpade). Obligatorisk uppbackning till mördaren. Schack. Det finns också en uppbackningsscen, men det har ni alla sett. Vill du ha en fågel som flyger iväg? Du har den! (Ja, de lyckades inkorporera en av dessa här). Och, naturligtvis, vi-har-säkerhet-på-alla-exits-men-han-fortfarande-flyktiga scenen. Ska jag fortsätta? Det kan jag. För att alla som säger att karaktärerna inte var dumma, skojar du? "Även om det stora larmet ringer, bokstavligen säger VAKNA BYGGNADEN, och tre av mina vänner saknas, ska jag gå upp för att hämta min wrap." Dessa karaktärer var några av de mest bristfälliga och dumma karaktärerna någonsin. Den enda sympatiska karaktären - Lisa - gjorde ett av filmens dummaste drag. "Åh, jag insåg just att psyko-läraren är här! Jag måste lämna min starka pojkvän för att springa iväg själv för att varna henne! Åh, jösses, går hissen långsamt? Antar att jag tar trapporna och springer iväg till byggarbetsplatsen!" Ugh. I slutet av filmen förtjänade de alla att dö. Den enda död någon kände någon ånger för var Donnas pojkvän (jag kan inte ens komma ihåg hans namn- är det dåligt? ), och vid den tiden var publiken helt tömd på denna skräcklösa, klichéartade film. Det fanns några positiva- skådespelandet var anständigt för det mesta, och det var välskjutet. Men det var allt. Jag skulle ge det en 1/5, och det är att vara generös. Bara för skratten (och tro mig, publiken hade några), och Bretagne Snow. Och reaktionen var dålig. Väldigt illa. Folk buade efter filmens slut och surret efteråt var väldigt negativt. Förvänta dig dåliga ben för den här.
Okay. So I just got back. Before I start my review, let me tell you something: I wanted to like this movie. I know I've been negative before, but I was hoping to be surprised and come out and like the movie. I didn't. It is not just the fact that every horror cliché that can be thought of is in this. And it's not just the fact that they make every little thing a jump scare (go into a baseball bat left on the floor? Are you kidding me? It just wasn't scary. One thing I was surprised to see: there was more blood than I thought it would be... which doesn't say much. The film begins with Donna being driven by Lisa's mother at her house. She comes in and goes up. Camera boilers to his father's death on the couch. It's scary. She gets up, where the said baseball bat scene happens. Find her brother on her bed, apparently dead (how could she know? He had no blood stain on him). The killer comes in, Donna hides under the bed, Mom dies. She runs out and screams for help. The killer behind her, "I did it for us." Go to therapy. This confused a lot of people- everyone asked if her family actually died or if she imagined it- and she mentions how the nightmares have begun to come back. The Filler dialogue box follows. - Hey, get straight to the point. Get scenes at the parlor, they go to the hotel. Of course, the killer is already there (for some reason he escaped 3 days ago but the police/family were not informed until he was already there). More fillings follow. I'm not gonna talk about what's going on in the movie, because I don't want to ruin it too much. If you want to know who's dying, Horror_Fan made a post about it already. But when it came to the deaths, they weren't so exciting. People in the theatre actually laughed loudly (an experience I've never had before in a horror film, not even in When A Stranger Calls) during several of them. Especially the bus guy who gives me the funniest "save" face. The only death with any blood was Lisa's, and it was quite rare. Her neck is cut off, blood (if you can even call it that- it was practically black) splashes on the curtain thing. The only other blood was on Claire when we saw her body. Fenton apparently decided to stab her a few times after he suffocated her to death. Okay? The film was one of the most clichés I've ever seen. Let's see... mandatory close-mirror-garden-boom! Scene. Check. Twice, actually (you could see they were struggling). Mandatory backup to the killer. Check. There's also a backing scene, but you've all seen it. You want a bird flying away? You got it! (Yes, they managed to incorporate one of these here). And, of course, we-we-have-security-on-all-exits-but-he-still-volatile stage. Shall I continue? I can. Because everyone who says the characters weren't stupid, are you kidding? "Even if the big alarm rings, literally says AWAKE BUILDING, and three of my friends are missing, I'm going up to pick up my wrap." These characters were some of the most flawed and stupid characters ever. The only sympathetic character - Lisa - made one of the film's stupidest moves. "Oh, I just realized the psycho-teacher is here! I have to leave my strong boyfriend to run away myself to warn her! Oh, my gosh, is the elevator going slow? Guess I'll take the stairs and run off to the construction site!" Ugh. At the end of the movie, they all deserved to die. The only dead someone felt any remorse for was Donna's boyfriend (I can't even remember his name- is that bad? ), and at that time the audience was completely emptied of this fearless, clichéd film. There were some positive acting was decent for the most part, and it was well shot. But that's it. I'd give it a 1/5, and that's being generous. Just for the laughs (and believe me, the audience had some), and Brittany Snow. And the reaction was bad. Very bad. People booed after the film ended and the buzz afterwards was very negative. Expect bad legs for this one.
