I've never seen Gene Siskel so passionately slate a movie


Come to think of it, didn't know someone could get so heated up over make-believe.

Watch his review for Silent Night Deadly Night. He hated that one much more.

It's funny, I actually watched this movie due to the negative reviews from Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel. I was expecting it to be like "Friday the 13th" but it's actually a great looking movie. Sure, it's pretty light on story, and the whole thing about the girl being pulled apart is unnecessary, but I kind of enjoyed it!

The score was just right, not overdone like some 80s thrillers. Cinematography was also nice. The movie had a very clean and crisp look to it, as well, the landscape was beautifully shot. I also enjoyed the actors. It was just a good popcorn movie, what can I say.

RIP Roger and Gene.

Siskel and Ebert were idiots. Who gives a fuck what they thought about films.

In fact almost all film criticism is worthless.

Siskel and Ebert had their Karma with a C.

siskel and eberts did not like these movie because they are both woketard.

this film is anti-woketard.

it show scene where female get torn in half by two trucks (the trucks would be torn in half if it was keelai). that is why they do not like.

what is the first thing that the shit remake of this film do when it come out in 2007? it show man being torn in half by trucks. they do this on purpose. that is why remake is shit - it is woketard.

in 1986 (when hollywood make great film) they are not afraid of being anti woketard so they show grewsome death for woman - this is good film as you do not expect this. that is why it is great film

siskel and eberts were not good critics because they let there woketard politics get in way of film review. they were just personalitys who were interest to watch but were both nerds who get head flushed down toilet in school by rutger hower and c thomas hewell.
