Title: Wha' happen'd
Product review: I had heard only positive reviews of this film and have to admit I was extremely curious about it. Finally, returning to the realm of REAL horror, a splatter film in the post-Scream world. I waited for a nice, dark night to sit down and watch it, all a jitter. It starts out wonderfully, the blend of dizzing direction and music lets you know you're in for an awesome experience and when the four hapless teenagers take in a hitchhiker, I was ready for the carnage to begin. So, what happened?Shallow characters? Sure, but that's a horror movie for you. Plus, the Firefly family is fun, grotesque, exciting, disgusting all at once. And then the movie just kind of fizzles due to overly-pretentious direction and confusion. As a fellow reviewer pointed out, it degrades into how many horrible ways you can torture unsympathetic teenage characters and for what? This movie hints at a plot but never follows through with one, making the end a garbled mess. A shame.
