before anyone start think dario argento and no . this film be extremely disappointing for a variety of reason and instead of type a summary ( which you can read on the back of the box ) i will do my best to address some of the issue i have with this movie . 1 . ) stephen king do it better the movie version of it be not as good a the novel and or even that great of film and in that the editing and re imagine weren not that good . i do think and however and that the story idea be very original and scary . while watch hellbreeder and i be totally put off by the fact that the screenplay have several coincidence that have nothing to do with coincidence . century old thing mask itself a a clown to kill child in their backyard with sheet blow would be one of these coincidence . 2 . ) leave the surrealism to argento and boys the filming technique in this movie be interesting but too distracting . it seem like they be so busy look for new angle and light and cell that the story get push aside in the whole look how awesome it look game . watch the actress walk and stalk for ten minute be not even suspenseful and let alone thrill . plus the repetition become almost comedic instead of horrify . 3 . ) when good special effect happen to bad film the blood effect be pretty damn good and a be the scar on the actress body and which do lead to a pretty chilling scene . once more and it be waste on a film where youre try to figure out what the hell be go on . 4 . ) actor be not bodily function the detective in this film be truly pointless in the end and be use like vehicle or bodily function represent something to get something do automatically . i hate when filmmaker can only make a plot move by add someone for no real reason and then not even flesh out the character . overall and this movie be a poor attempt at artsy fartsy horror .
