Granted, Shawshank Redemption it is not. However, it at least fits the bill of decent gorefest. It creates a solid atmosphere and although the premise is certainly questionable, it's handled with decent production values and appears to have been taken at least somewhat seriously by the cast. I'd put her in at least 5-ish territory.
Champagne for my real friends
Real pain for my sham friends.
It's gritty, it's dark, it's gloomy, it's bloody, it's twistedly funny, it's not full of forced romantic drivel, it's not politically correct, and it doesn't have CGI.
I guess that's why people hate it. They want stupid movies with giant robots, big explosions, pathetic little boys and some slutty girl as eye candy.
The Mangler gets low scores as well and thats another decent SK film based on a short story.
shareIt's just a terrible movie. Not in a 'so bad it's good' way either. It's just plain bad. Might've helped if they hired some actors who could actually act. Feels like they just grabbed some bums off the street.
shareFunny, all the actors are still around today and they've done tons of stuff.
shareThe actors did a good job.
shareI agree.. It should have a higher rating. It makes for a great movie around Halloween. It kept my attention the whole time.. Great movie!!

I've always been struck by the way the Actors kind of resemble other actors. The drifter that sort of looks like Mark Harmon, the girl that sort of looks like Marisa Tomei, the Foreman that sort of looks like Fred Ward, etc.
shareVery observant you are. Can't say that about too many movies that is for sure!!
shareI also don't understand the low score. I liked it especially because it didn't follow the same old boring Final Girl formula that's in practically every horror movie out there. For once, it's a Final Guy! I wish more movies would have a male survivor instead of a female because that cliche has been done to death.
