4.4? Come on. It wasn't THAT bad.


This movie should have at least a 5.5. Yeah, it's far from perfect, but it was certainly better than I expected due to IMDb rating. And yes, I know any Joe Schmo can rate the movie however, but I just can't believe that many people judged this movie so harshly. It was at least entertaining, and the tattoo parlor scene, IMO, was brilliant. My palm was like glued to my mouth.

I agree! It wasnt very suspensful but something I would watch again if I was bored or if it was on HBO or something. I hate how harsh people are on rating movies because I go to these sites a lot and they rate decent or even pretty funny movies way too low and it prevents people from seeing a movie that isnt all that bad.

Don't be afraid to fall in love. It's the only thing that matters in life

I thought it was 6.5 at best. It wasn't a bad movie at all. Cliched, yes. Terrible? No.

It WAS boring! 4.4 is just right!

I thought it was excellent. It's difficult for me to believe that horror/thriller fans who watch and like a decent chunk of all of the horror and thriller films that come out each year (which I take to be a demarcation criterion for being a horror/thriller FAN) would somehow find just THIS one objectionably derivative or poorly made. That would make no sense relative to positive opinions about all of those other horror and thriller films.

Apparently there are people entertained by dreg like this! Are they also entertained by Fox News?

IA, I've seen some truly awful movies that have gotten atleast a 6 lol.

And this isn't a truly awful movie?

reply

It was bad tbh......but there are so many worse movies over the last year or so. This is in the "bad but watchable atleast once" category.

I think this film was more a story for the female audience than for the male one. I didn't like the main character very much and Rebecca's character was actually the most interesting there for me. I also couldn't discern any sort of theme throughout the film. Orphan is much better in my opinion.

It really WAS that bad; in fact, it was worse!

I gave it a 7. I thought it was pretty good.

I enjoyed it as well. I feel like it's more to do with the genre. People are crazy about their 'horror films'.

This was garbage and the rating for this is generous imo. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Even for mindless entertainment standards, this was just pathetic.

reply

Anyone who thinks this is one of the worst movies ever needs to go watch some Asylum films. The scores spot, maybe .1 or .2 low but otherwise accurate.
