Seen 'Epic Movie'? This could be 'Se7en Saws'


Save yourself, just say no. This is a parade of cliches from gore/sex crime flicks with a poorly written script. It's been a long time since I quit a movie after 30 minutes, but the script seemed to be written by a 7th grader. The gore didn't offend me as much as the stupid dialog. The director copies style points like the quick cuts and dark interiors, right down to the excessive [poof-click!] for every crime scene camera flash; at this point it just seems corny.

Oh man... that means you missed the completely obvious ending twist! Shame (j/k). Agreed on all points. My thing is: I can deal with stylistic clichés and common crime-mystery meets horror tropes, but character motivations must be logical, acting must feel genuine and the plot must make some sort of sense.
