Unexpectedly nice movie. Good script, brilliant acting. Loads of Gore! For gore horror fans, this is a definite watch. good stuff.
I did enjoy the previous movie from the brothers. While it never achieved what Tucker & Dale did (no pun intended), it was a fun little movie. Though it would depend on your definition of fun I reckon. Something that can be also said about this movie right here. It is also very bloody and does not pull any punches.But it is unfortunately very predictable. I can't imagine anyone being really surprised by the twists thrown here. Red herrings and all included, you'll see them coming. It's still set up nice and it's enjoyable enough, if you don't have problems with the amount of gore this includes and the obvious scare tactics it uses ...
The movie shows so much promise at the start. Then you think it's going to decay into a cheap slasher flick when they twist it up on you and re-invent it into more of a torture horror deal. Overall, they could have gotten a lot more inventive to include real paranormal activity. Nonetheless, the twist in the middle was enough to save the movie - until the end that is.While they did tie up the loose ends, the ending was pure nonsense - tantamount to the cop out used by the Sopranos. Totally ruined the movie for me. Had they given it a proper ending, then I would have rated this movie a 7.
This isn't just a horror movie, it's a criticism of modern mainstream horror which is build on cheap scares, lazy writing and production that sells to masses. Brothers who made this film know the horror genre very well, know what it does have, what it needs and what it lacks. Through witty humour, parody and well working eerie atmosphere they tell the story of two generations trying to come to compromise- old, build on atmosphere and the second one, build on shocks, gore and viral marketing. In 80 minutes, you'll encounter fear, dread, laughs, twists and parodied situation we all hate in haunted house and slasher movies.It's not just great horror movie, it's also well established criticism of now-day's horror and not just that, they are not two old grumps, they also celebrate our generation's horror as well. Nicely done fusion of two generation with one pinch of criticism. And to that reviewer bashing the open ending... they did it on purpose, the whole movie was build on it.
