Negative Positive
Title: Messy...but not in a good way.
Review: A long time ago there was a movie called Seven that was clever and disturbing beautifully made and had riveting performances.Those days are long gone.Now we get horror movies hurriedly slopped together for a quick buck.The filmmakers think up a few nice twists for the ending and pad out the rest of the movie with a bunch of jerks wandering around a house falling into various deathtraps like idiots.As a fan of the glory days of 70s low budget horror films I have to say there's nothing all that shocking here despite some really annoying flashy editing gimmicks that dilute the effect of gruesome scenes.The cast is unlikable and the killer mastermind practically catatonic(imagine Christopher Walken in his place...that would've been creepy)so there's little to hold your interest between predictable death scenes.Good twist at the end but not as good as the orginal and a good horror film should have more to offer than a climatic surprise to be truly scary.
