About the blog:

Well, hello! Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app. Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

MY REVIEW:
I so wanted this to be an awesome movie. I did. I gave it the old college try. Serious fail!

It was the typical scary "new Hollywood" movie with lackluster scares and all too common horror movie happenings. Everything that was meant to make the crowd jump was so foreshadowed that each thing was just too much! There were no surprises.

Take a few movies from the past and string them together and you're gonna get this movie. It was like one of those mad-libs with plot ideas and character development.  Cheap and gimmicky.

If you'd rather see a decent scary movie with the same general idea, go watch Flatliners from 1990.. at least that has Kevin Bacon and Keifer Sutherland!
