Its just plain awful, I hated it. Its like a bad porn movie and a bad slasher flick fused into one.
Saw is alright, but every time I watch it I like it less. Saw II is probably a better movie, at least I enjoy it more.
Rob Zombie's Halloween remake was surprisingly good, so I recommend that. Look at it as more of an interpretation then a remake and you will probably enjoy it. Its pretty well paced and has some awesome chase sequences.
You want a DAMN good horror movie though, watch The Orphanage. Man, that movie was just plain incredible. It was produced by Guillermo del Toro of Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy fame.
Another one that was pretty good that some people loved and some people hated but which scared the SHIT out of me was The Strangers.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
