This looks absolutely dreadful.


I hate looking at these topics. You know the ones, the people trolling around message boards for movies that haven't come out yet, saying "this looks bad," or "don't go see this," or "this is a waste of your money," but I mean... wow.

I knew that pretty much anyone with a digital camera that can frame a shot can get their slasher movie picked up and played--but this is the director of "You Got Served!" Why would you give him your money?

I mean, honestly... horror movies have just hit a new low. Before anybody says anything, you're right. I haven't seen the movie. I have seen the trailer. I probably won't see the movie because of it.

So let's say, judging STRICTLY from the trailer, would you want to watch the whole thing?

It looks like possibly the most unoriginal horror movie to come out in a long time. The whole "creepy little girl" thing is so overdone at this point I'm thinking about devolping my own film studio that produces nothing but creepy little girl movies. We'd probably strike it rich.

"Why would you give him your money? "

SOMEBODY HELP ME! was self-financed I believe because another mini-major studio would not give Stokes other horror movie HOUSE the greenlight. I also think there were some legal complications because of the Pennywise character...

Didn't someone already do that in Japan?
