Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Roman I see a lot of hate in these reviews which is, in my opinion, out of place. Sure, the movie isn't a masterpiece, but I think a lot of people don't see this as it is. It's a mix of satire, spoof and homage to all the horrormovies (and their clichés) we've been served since the beginning of cinema. And in that, the movie doesn't take itself serious, just as an 'original' horror movie mustn't be taken serious. So watch this as a fun, entertaining homage with all the cliches of those movies we all know. And in that, they did a fine job.
luke-mb What i thought would be a good horror film turned out to a totally random waste of an hour and a half. With no real build up to get into the characters, then straight into unrealistic zombies running round. Should be down as a comedy
bhafizi2005 Being frightened is a peculiar emotion. I'm sure there are hundreds of psychological and philosophical theories and papers out there dealing with this subject. We could say that "scary" is generally a negative adjective, but you can't argue with the thrill we feel in situations as such, be it a ghost story, a roller-coaster ride or even witnessing a car crash. Horror movies, I guess, are one of the safest ways of experiences these emotions. There are different methods of going about making a successful horror movie, successful in the sense that they manage to effectively scare the audience and please them at the same time.This movie has the "scary" part hands down, the beginning of the movie is a mix of calm scenarios intersected by sudden scenes changes, usually accompanied by music. I guess its a good setup, and they managed to glue my eyes to the screen. But as the story unfolds, it becomes more and more idiotic, with the last scene completely destroying any chance the movie had of being even remotely thought-provoking.If you're interested in the horror genre, I'm sure you can find much better options.
Stoker48 To be honest, the first time I didn't get why anyone would love this movie. It was fun to watch and sometime in the middle I got what it was about. (didn't know anything beforehand, that's how I like to watch movies) I really like Joss Whedon's style and this movie screamed of it. That is why I kinda liked it the first time.After a year or so I tought why not give it a second go? As I remember it was kinda fun... And than the magic happened! Everything fell into place. Now that I know what was going on from the first minute this movie just got so much better I can't describe. I LOVED every minute of it. It was a whole new experience.This is a movie you HAVE to watch at least 2 times to fully enjoy it. So on the first go I gave it a 6/10, now it's a 10/10... So I'm gonna average it at 9/10 :)
