Good grief, this movie is absolute trash! 🙂 Those "action" sequences where everyone just moves around at high speed look like a cheap reconstruction from some low-budget local news broadcast, filmed with the same amateurish, non-cinematic camera work. 🙂 Honestly!
And the acting? Please. People in a small town in rural Alabama could act better than this 🙂 except for Jen, obviously.
There are liters upon liters of blood everywhere—hello, what year is it? The 80s are long gone. 🥳 Who actually gets scared by blood these days? Three fucking year-olds? ☕
The 3D was fun for a few scenes, but that’s not enough $13 to make it worth a damn. The subtitles were a complete disaster because they were so flat; they looked like they were stuck in the background while the film played "forward." It was painful to watch, and honestly, you're better off ignoring them.
The idiots at the theater didn't even stretch the film from edge to edge on the screen, so you're stuck looking at those two fucking annoying black bars on the sides the entire time, which the 3D glasses only make even more irritating. For real 3D, you shouldn't see anything but the screen itself, and I guess I still have to wait for IMAX for that.
Furthermore, the film looks washed out and dull because of the glasses themselves; trying to make out any detail in an image that poor is practically impossible.
What can I say, I'm a visual bitch. 😬
On a personal note, I had a blast because, just like Brandon Rivera11 said, we spent the whole time commenting on and trashing the movie. At one point, the entire damn theater was talking—not whispering or being quiet, but actively talking and critiquing. That tells you everything you need to know about how much this film immersed us in the plot.
And in the end, of course, there was Jen, the reason for our little outing, looking pretty, pretty as ever.
