wow! Tobe Hooper directed! doesn't mean it's good...
I mean, who gives a flying F if Tobe Hooper directed it. I don't give a damn. This movie was godawful. Me and my brother had to watch the first half one night and the second half the next, because, it was too boring and stupid to watch it all at once. Still, I didn't want to waste the rental. What's weird, though, is that this movie isn't even that long to begin with and we still had to split it. I don't think I have ever given a movie a 1 on here, because, no matter how bad a movie can be, I always find at least one thing redeemable to give it at least a 2 rating. But, not this. I had to give it a 1. They don't even try to build up any creepiness or suspension. The killer doesn't play games with his victims before killing them or giving them a good chase scene to help build the suspension. He just pops out of nowhere and kills a person. Big wow! And, the plot had to be one of the most ridiculous plots I have ever known in a film. Still, if you're one of those who like those stupid Z horro films on the SciFi Channel, I can see how you'll like this. Now, here's one of the main problems that I have right now. It's, well, how did this movie get a freaking 5.5 rating? That's way too high. How could this get such a high rating and Stay Alive get only a 3.6? Don't get me wrong, Stay Alive was definitely nothing special, but, it was way better than this. It at least tried to build up the suspense. I say that if you want to see a good slasher about a retarded/freaky killer who kills people in a sleeping headquarters of some sort, than watch See No Evil. It had all the blood this had and maybe some more. Good suspension build up. Creepy atmospheres. And, it didn't have a ridiculous plot like Toolbox Murders did. I'm sorry, but, I just can't rate it good just because Tobe Hooper directed and Angela Bettis starred. This gets a big 1 from me.
I mean it is bad. Ya know. Like bad as in bad. Like, I'm bad, Jamal, you know it. -Elvira, M.O.T.D.
