I had originally planned out a very lengthy and in-depth review for this film. I couldn’t bring myself to re-live the horror that is this re-imagining/rem
ake. All I can say is that it was horrible from a film perspective, horrible from a remake perspective, horrible from a Horror perspective. See the trend here?
After 30 minutes of watching this abomination of my favorite Horror franchise I was ready to leave the theater. This has never happened. I have never wanted to leave a theater because of the film that is playing. Ever. My wife, knowing how much I love the originals, made me stay. All I can tell you is that it just got worse from there.
I did find a fun little thing to keep me entertained while watching the movie. You may have noticed this or if you plan on seeing this soon you can watch for it as well. There is one line of dialog used through out the movie (used maybe 4 times) that just made me giggle every time I heard it. Now when you hear this line you have to look at the reason they are asking and context in which it is used. The line is “Are you OK?”
New Line Cinema and Platinum Dunes should be ashamed.
P.S. At least there is one thing good that came from this franchise this year.
