Because it's so much more fun than praising it! just kidding. This movie was intriguing and thought-provoking. Well casted and well put together. Definitely you should see it sooner or later. The problem I had was that the director of the film tried hard to maximize the scare quality. He tried to make some cheap scares by using build-up and shock value. The thing he hadn't realized was it would have been twice as scary had he hadn't tried so hard, stop trying to use that cliche of a quick transition from subtle to in-your-face. Had he kept it at one level and made everything flowed together, it would have been more powerful. I think that wasn't what the script was going for and the director had to make it more to the audience of the slasher genre. But other than that, the film was really great. I did however know what was going on about thirty minutes of the film. Note that it was still unpredictable, I just knew what was going on. The excellent thing that surprised me was the psychologists major flaw...you'll see what I mean. I know I noted this earlier, but there was some excellent performances....Noting Cusack, Tambor, and Peet especially. Also, I heard that the producers made the director cut it down a lot and add scenes to "dumb it down" because apparently it was a lot harder to understand originally. |
