Scott Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Seen this on Saturday night and I really wasn't impressed at all. Given all the hype surrounding this film I expected it to be a good frightener, it was anything but. One scene in the entire movie gave me a slightly increased heart rate but the rest of it had me almost flat lining. The acting was absolutely shocking, the amount of naivety in the characters was ridiculous and the character development was non-existent. The ending of the movie was absolutely pointless, as was the lead up to it. The first half of the film really dragged and whilst the 2nd half wasn't much better the director at least tried to get some spooky scenes thrown into the mix (failed miserably). If you REALLY like horrors then I guess it could be said to be worth a watch, even if it was just for the hell of it, but I certainly wouldn't recommend paying actual money to see it.

johnny g Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I watched a really weepy one on Sunday. Liverpool were playing Cardiff - ba dum tish! Went to see Safe House on Sat night, thought it was OK, nothing amazing. We chose that over Women in Black, from your review ScottyTooHotty, it sounds like it was a good call.

You know what to expect with Statham movies, generally pointless but worth a watch for the action regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I've heard from others that it's not as good as I thought it could be. I'm desperate to start using my Cineworld Unlimited card too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Saw it last Saturday. I don't think I ever need to watch it again. Had a nice enough dinner though before hand with Mrs Lbm in a Loch Fyne in Chelmsford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It wasn't *that* bad. However I didn't see much, too many babies causing a distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
