Twice as good as expected!..the Halloween replacement for Saw is here
Why this movie is getting bad reviews from ppl I do not know..Personally I think the incredibly cheesy sounding title and no name actors have a little to do with it. Or they watched the first few minutes and quit, thinking it was just a cheap teen scream. However, I recommend you stick with it. With a bunch of nobodys on the cast (except for some with Youtube fame), of course there are some flaws but also suprising performances most notably by Roger Bart (Professor Clayton), the lead Caitlin Gerard (Ashley), and Andrew James Allen (Zane).
This is the best horror movie I have seen in a while and was especially impressed by the psychological aspect and theories brought on by Professor Clayton. Another great thing about the plot was that you were never confused with what was happening but also couldn't predict an ending and when it came, I was like.."Ooooh, hahahaha i get it now, very clever...O *beep* nevermind, Damn!"
The content of the movie was a little different than expected too, I believe it will be a PG-13 assuming they are allowed to have roughly 5 memorable F-bombs and very modest gorey images..no sex or nudity despite some very attractive characters, but while I'm normally disgusted with what they hold back to keep a horror movie PG-13, I wasn't with this. Very well done.
All in all, this will make some money this Halloween and will have no problem producing sequels. This movie is not a waste of time at all so dont judge this movie by its cover because I almost did and I would have regretted it.
I give it a 8/10
