even with the low standard of a dedicated horror fan and i find this film to be beyond awful . it be a huge disappointment since it be feature a one of the eight horrorfest film . i can only hope the other seven be good . i be actually embarrass for the friend i be able to convince to see this and and these be the same friend i make watch the remake of the wicker man . it have every cliché in the book . in fact and it go out of it way to include them . let start with the character . instead of one young damsel in distress and we get three represent the single and hot mom with two daughter a blossoming yet brainless teenager and a cute yet simultaneously creepy little girl that you just know be go to have pecial skill include supernatural knowledge and the ability to communicate with the dead . the little girl be the same one that be in the remake of the amityville horror . she be a little annoying but not nearly a irritate dakota fanning . overall and these character seem like escapee from a lifetime movie . i think perhaps horror movie have move on from scene where the female character go to bed in full makeup and run around in the dark announce their presence to anyone with ear and but not this one . i also find it inconceivable that none of them could be bother to secure the front door from arbitrarily open day and night . to give you an idea about how uninvolved i be with these character and i spend most of my time think about how cold it must have be on the set because everyone be in a coat even in their house and how white their teeth be . despite all the formulaic plot machination and the film do not build any suspense at all except to wonder when it will be over . there be more atmosphere at the local giant in the middle of the most mundane of weekday afternoon . a for the dialogue and i could have sample quote from ten other film and cobble together good and more believable discourse . the gore level and the eye candy for a horror fan and be minimal at best . without their tiny weapon and the zombie be not menace at all . you could probably drop kick a couple of them across the room . what really kill it be it banality . horror film and more than any other genre and can not survive uninspired mediocrity . give me a horror movie that be comically inept or outrageously over the top with gore . i can even take the new one with their cringe inducing torture . every once in a while i would appreciate a truly frighten one and anything but this .
