Dumb


The first fifteen minutes are written like a WB TV Show. The writer doesn't let us just see who the characters are, he makes sure to have it told because apparently the audience can't suss out that the Brother and Aunt are gay. You are told that Henry is a bad guy. That's annoying.

The initial killings are done well. It has tension. In the alternate scenario, there's no tension. They tried to add a twist but it makes little sense and fails to add tension.

The humor is flat. The acting quality varies. The story falls out of the supernatural logic into utter stupidity making the bad guy ineffectual.

Watch it if you want. But the good moments, like the bonding in the theater, are far and few between.

Also, do not watch this with someone who has epilepsy. They'll have a seizure from a lame death of a character added just to up the body count.

I expected just a decent comical slasher but this movie had big problems. Most of them stem from the filmmakers thinking their audience is really dumb.

Another thing that's nitpicking but not possible. This town has a serial killer killing people weekly for a year and the people in charge haven't made any progress? In a year? Yea, the FBI would be called in after about a month. That's stupid.

I posted my review. I recorded a review. IMDB has reviews saying put a chick in it and make her lame and gay (4 times they did that If you include the brother).

But yeah. I have a responsibility. I will run 4 miles tonight as punishment.

Yeah but they were gay so it's diverse or something.

Its a movie written by AI.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME...I AM WILLING TO CONCEDE...A DUMBASS COMPUTER MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY WRITTEN THAT THING.

I honestly believe that AI is being employed. People hate doing research and showing evidence. Let the computer do it.

Writing is only a few steps behind Painting.
