i have be a fan of horror movie and thriller since i be a child . i would like to think i know a little about the way they work and have study film at university ( not that that make me an expert and mind you ) . in the post modern world we live in now and there be a glut of cinema verite in our televisual entertainment and what with the plethora of reality tv show and so on . horror movie seem to have move in a similar direction in some way represent witness the blair witch project and rec and cloverfield etc . there be also an emphasis on take the horror to it logical extreme by expose the viewer to total violence and sadistic torture note for instance the current trend of torture porn with film like hostel and saw . all these movie aim to place u in the action and make it seem more real . take this theme of place the viewer in reality and the writer of the last horror movie would like to think he be be desperately clever and but the script in this film be so patronising and transparent it can not even pass a art . the lead actor be just plain awful his performance be incredibly affected and bland and with almost no nuance . others give good performance however and especially the assistant . the serial killer constantly look at the camera intensely and ask u insightful question like why be you still watch . and do not you want to see what happen . and so on . utterly tedious . we know why we watch horror we do not need to be lecture about it . horror perform a sort of ritual of exorcism for our daily live it enable u to live vicariously through the fictional suffering of others and know we would never do it ourselves ( and hop that it will never happen to u ) . this sort of thematic material be explore with so much more finesse and artfulness in henry represent portrait of a serial killer ( which be truly shock in it coldness ) and pasolini incredible salo ( the end sequence where we be look through binoculars at soundless torture scene ) and belgium excellent man bite dog ( which be ahead of it time ) and even less graphic movie like hitchcock rear window and the excellent peep tom from the early 60 . voyeurism be explore in film be nothing new . the premise of the last horror movie therefore appear incredibly naive to me and with nothing new to say . the murder be rather silly and and the whole i follow you from the video store line just tacky . it one thing to take the tack of the viewer be complicit in this murder theme and it quite another to shove it down their throat .
