MY REVIEW
It gets partial credit for trying. It was quite nearly a good movie. Having seen the trailers and knowing that David Goyer also directed "The Dark Knight", I gave it a go. I was hoping to be entertained for at least 90 minutes. I was mistaken for most of that.
What I DID LIKE about this movie:- A few pretty decent special effects.
- Points for making this a horror-comedy, at least unintentionally!
- Lots of things keep happening that further the thin plot. It was able to salvage itself. Just barely.
- Cam Gigandet was worth the watch! (Adorbs!!) This guy!
What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:
- Much too "by the book" for typical horror.. Childhood trauma, nightmares and not-so-subtle homages to classic horror.
- With heavy and obvious steps, this movie tramples into your face with it's obvious scares that are utter failures.
On a more personal note..... I made a lovely trifle for the dessert. We are having a few people over for dinner and I wanted something tasty and light to serve for dessert. This is layered with Butter Pound Cake, Fresh vanilla Cream, Strawberries, Chocolate Ganache and some dark chocolate shavings. Then, I finished the 4th in the series of Italy drawings that I was working on.. Cinque Terre. Love this one and ABSOLUTELY loved my memories of being there! Bought some chalk as well today and tried a little something with that. This little tree is the product of about 15 minutes with some paper and chalk!
